[0049] Example 4
[0050] This embodiment provides an application of the crystalline material prepared by the above method in the purification process of n-butane and isobutane. Taking Example 1 as an example, the application method is specifically as follows:
[0051] (1) 150 mg of the crystalline material NXU-2-Tb prepared in Example 1 was soaked in 20 mL of acetone for 5 days and vacuum degassed at 100° C. for 24 hours to obtain the activated crystalline material NXU-2-Tb (a);
[0052] (2) Using the American Micromeritics ASAP 2460 adsorption instrument at 77K, NXU-2-Tb(a) was subjected to nitrogen adsorption to analyze its pore structure. Then, the adsorption of n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10 Single-component gas adsorption capacity;
[0053] By the attached Figure 2 It can be seen that the BET specific surface area of NXU-2-Tb(a) is 563.85 m 2 / g, there are two types of pores with pore widths of 0.84nm and 1.34nm respectively.
[0054] By the attached Figure 3 It can be seen that at 298K temperature, n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10 The adsorption capacity was 45.7 cm 3 / g, 35.7cm 3 / g.
[0055] From the comparison results of the above adsorption amounts, it can be seen that the adsorption amount of the material for n-butane is much higher than that for isobutane, indicating that NXU-2-Tb(a) can be used for n-C4H 10 / iso-C4H 10 Adsorption separation can be used to purify n-butane and isobutane.
[0056] (3) Calculate the effect of NXU-2-Tb(a) on n-C4H by Clausius-Clapeyron equation 10 and iso-C4H 10 The adsorption enthalpy (Q st ), and accordingly determine the regeneration temperature of the material after adsorbing the corresponding gas;
[0057] By the attached Figure 4 It can be seen that n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10 Q st They are 48.4 kJ / mol and 51.4 kJ / mol, respectively, indicating that NXU-2-Tb(a) can be regenerated at a lower temperature (40-80°C) after adsorbing the corresponding gas.
[0058] (4) Using the BSD-MAB gas dynamic penetration experimental device, 1000 mg of NXU-2-Tb(a) was loaded into a fixed separation column with a volume of 8 mL and purged with N2 (20 mL / min) at 100 °C for 3 h. Based on the actual situation of the current industrial n-butane and isobutane production, first, n-C4H2O and n-C4H3O with a volume ratio of 50:50 were introduced at 1 atm and 298 K. 10 / iso-C4H 10 The total flow rate of the mixed gas is 1.0 mL / min. The test of n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10 The penetration time and the separation column outlet n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10 Purity, see attached Figure 5 Furthermore, n-C4H2O2 with a volume ratio of 50:50 was introduced at 1 atm and 298 K. 10 / iso-C4H 10The total flow rate of the mixed gas is 1.0-10.0 mL / min. The test of n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10 The penetration time and the separation column outlet n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10 Purity, see attached Figure 6 Furthermore, n-C4H2O2 with a volume ratio of 50:50 was introduced at 1 atm 298-333K. 10 / iso-C4H 10 The total flow rate of the mixed gas is 1.0 mL / min. The test of n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10 The penetration time and the separation column outlet n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10 Purity, see attached Figure 7 In the figure, C0 represents the total concentration of the mixed gas, C A Indicates the concentration of a specific component gas in a mixed gas, C A / C0 represents the relative concentration of a specific component gas in the mixed gas.
[0059] By the attached Figure 5 The test results show that in n-C4H 10 / iso-C4H 10 n-C4H in mixed gas 10 and iso-C4H 10 The breakthrough times for n-butane and isobutane were 37.6 min / g and 19.4 min / g, respectively. Purity testing of the gas at the column outlet revealed that both n-butane and isobutane were ≥99.999%. The long relative difference in breakthrough times and the large relative concentration differences between groups indicate good purification effectiveness. These results confirm that NXU-2-Tb(a) has excellent purification capabilities for n-butane and isobutane.
[0060] By the attached Figure 6 The test results show that when the mixed gas flow rate is 1.0mL / min, 2.0mL / min, 5.0mL / min, and 10.0mL / min, n-C4H 10 / iso-C4H 10 n-C4H in mixed gas 10 and iso-C4H 10The breakthrough times for the three groups were 37.6 min / g and 19.4 min / g, 21.93 min / g and 8.37 min / g, 7.43 min / g and 2.16 min / g, and 3.36 min / g and 0.12 min / g, respectively. Purity testing of the gas at the column outlet revealed that both n-butane and isobutane were ≥99.999%. The long relative difference in breakthrough times and the large relative concentration differences between groups indicate good purification effectiveness. These results confirm that NXU-2-Tb(a) has excellent n-butane and isobutane purification capabilities at different gas flow rates.
[0061] By the attached Figure 7 The test results show that at 298K, 313K, and 333K, n-C4H 10 / iso-C4H 10 n-C4H in mixed gas 10 and iso-C4H 10 The breakthrough times were 37.6 min / g and 19.4 min / g, 39.92 min / g and 18.92 min / g, and 33.56 min / g and 15.80 min / g, respectively. Purity testing of the gas at the column outlet revealed that both n-butane and isobutane were ≥99.999%. The large relative concentration differences between the groups indicate good purification effectiveness. These results confirm that NXU-2-Tb(a) has excellent n-butane and isobutane purification capabilities at different temperatures.
[0062] In particular, when the material is used for the first time to purify n-butane and isobutane, steps (1) to (4) of the application method of Example 4 need to be followed. From the second time onwards, only steps (1) and (4) need to be followed.
[0063] Further verification of the structural integrity after adsorption-desorption cycles:
[0064] Each round of n-C4H 10 / iso-C4H 10 After separation, NXU-2-Tb(a) was regenerated by N2 purge at 60℃ for 3h, and the above step (5) was repeated after regeneration. Figure 8 It can be seen from the results that the crystallinity and structural integrity of NXU-2-Tb(a) have no obvious changes compared with the original NXU-2-Tb(a).
[0065] According to the above step (2), NXU-2-Tb (a) was subjected to 20 rounds of n-C4H 10 and iso-C4H 10Single-component gas adsorption-desorption cycle, PXRD pattern of NXU-2-Tb(a) after testing the cycle and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm at 77K. Figure 8 and attached Figure 2 The results in the small and medium figures show that the crystallinity and structural integrity of NXU-2-Tb(a) have not changed significantly compared with the original NXU-2-Tb.
