AI Technical Summary
Existing gas phase analysis technologies suffer from poor separation, poor peak shape, and uneven coating when analyzing refrigerant components. This is especially true when using imported Porapak Q and commercially available capillary columns, where separation and coating stability are insufficient.
A preparation method for an aluminum-based MOF gas-phase capillary column doped with iron ions was adopted. The inner wall of the capillary was treated with NaOH to generate a hydroxylation layer. Aluminum nitrate nonahydrate and fumaric acid were combined to form an Al-carboxylic acid network structure. Fe3+ nodes were introduced to construct a heterometallic coordination network to form a uniform coating.
It achieves refrigerant separation with high resolution and good peak shape, and the coating thickness is uniform and not easy to fall off, which improves the column efficiency and separation effect of the capillary column.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas phase capillary columns, and in particular to an iron ion-doped aluminum-based MOF gas phase capillary column, a preparation method thereof, and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Gas phase analysis, a key branch of analytical chemistry, primarily studies the composition, concentration, and properties of gases or volatile substances. Its core goal is to separate, detect, and quantify gas components, providing critical data for environmental monitoring, industrial process control, food safety, and other fields. Gas phase analysis technology, characterized by high sensitivity, rapid response, and excellent selectivity, is widely used in scientific research and industrial production.
[0003] Refrigerants are the key working medium in refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump systems. Their composition and purity directly impact system performance and environmental friendliness. Gas phase analysis, due to its high sensitivity, high resolution, and excellent quantitative capabilities, has become the primary method for refrigerant composition analysis. Gas phase analysis methods play a central role in refrigerant analysis, with GC, GC-MS, and FTIR being the most commonly used techniques.
[0004] In the existing technology, the current standard GB / T 31400-2015 is often used to perform gas phase analysis of refrigerants.

The 60m capillary column used in the current standard GB / T 38100-2019 has problems such as extremely poor peak shape, severe tailing, and poor separation. In addition, commercially available imported chromatographic columns also have problems such as uneven coating thickness and easy falling off of the internal coating, which greatly reduces the separation of the chromatographic column.
