Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of crystalline covalent organic framework materials and adsorption separation technology, and particularly to a covalent organic framework material for purifying aluminum ions in the production of acetone and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of crystalline porous organic materials, typically characterized by low density, high specific surface area, good thermal stability, and customizable functionalization. They are currently widely used in gas adsorption and separation. Furthermore, their rich building block structures and ease of functionalization result in abundant pore structures and environments, making them potentially valuable for adsorption and separation applications. Adsorption methods have gained widespread attention due to their low cost, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness. The key to effective adsorption lies in the selection of the adsorbent material. Currently, carbon-based materials, biochar, iron oxides, clay minerals, and iron sulfides are widely used for the adsorption and removal of heavy metals. However, crystalline porous COFs with high specific surface area and high stability are ideal adsorbent materials, possessing significant potential for environmental remediation applications in this field.
[0003] Friedel-Crafts acylation is a particularly important reaction in the synthesis of fine chemicals. This reaction can be used to directly introduce carbonyl groups onto simple aromatic rings to synthesize aromatic ketones. For example, the most widely used Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction in the production of acetone uses anhydrous aluminum trichloride as a catalyst, which raises a series of thorny environmental and safety issues. After the reaction, the post-treatment hydrolysis of aluminum chloride not only affects the selectivity of the reaction, reducing the selectivity of the acylated product, but also makes the purification of the acylated product more difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to adsorb and separate aluminum ions during the production process to purify acetone. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitations of COFs applications by introducing carboxyl functional groups into the COF-OH-1 material framework through a post-synthesis modification strategy, thereby synthesizing a carboxyl-functionalized ketone-enamine covalent organic framework material COF-COOH-1. This invention provides a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material with a carboxyl structure for aluminum ion adsorption and separation in the acetone production process, as well as its preparation method.

Then, heat the reaction system to carry out aldehyde-amine condensation reaction. After the reaction is completed, post-treatment is performed to obtain the imine bond-linked two-dimensional covalent organic framework material COF-OH-1.

[0056] like Figure 1 The figure shows the XRD pattern of the covalent organic framework material prepared in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, both COF-OH and COF-COOH have strong diffraction peaks, indicating that COF-OH and COF-COOH are spatially ordered in a long range, and their XRD diffraction peaks are similar in position. The main peak of COF-OH is located at 2.28°, and there are also diffraction peaks representing π-π packing of two-dimensional materials at 20-30°.

[0057] Figure 2 The removal rates of different metal ions by COF-OH and COF-COOH prepared in this embodiment are shown. To investigate the affinity of the carboxyl-functionalized covalent organic framework material COF-COOH-1 for different heavy metal ions and to compare it with COF-OH-1 without carboxyl modification, experiments were conducted using materials containing five different heavy metal ions (Al, Al, and COF-OH-1). 3+ Cd 2+ Cu 2+ Ni 2+ Cr 3+ A mixed solution containing heavy metal ions at a concentration of 0.01 mmol / L and an adsorbent mass of 10 mg. From Figure 2 It can be seen that, compared with the unmodified COF-OH-1 material, the carboxyl-functionalized covalent organic framework material COF-COOH-1 significantly improved the removal rates of the five heavy metal ions studied. COF-COOH-1 also showed improved removal rates of Al... 3+ Cd 2+ Cu 2+ Ni 2+ Cr 3+The removal rates also increased from 8.9%, 85.1%, 3.53%, 4.7%, and 8.5% to 99.99%, 98.5%, 96.4%, 97.8%, and 98.9%, respectively, indicating that COF-COOF-1 has a high affinity for all five heavy metal ions. This suggests that after carboxyl functionalization, the electron cloud density on the surface of COF-COOH-1 increases, resulting in a large number of negative charges, which can adsorb positively charged heavy metal ions through electrostatic interactions. These results demonstrate that carboxylation modification significantly improves the adsorption efficiency of the material for metal ions, and COF-COOH can be used to adsorb and separate aluminum ions during the production of acetone.
