Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of materials technology, and in particular to a method for preparing MOF materials and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a research hotspot in the field of water capture applications due to their high porosity, excellent adsorption performance, and diverse chemical structures. MOFs, through their porous structure, can effectively adsorb water vapor from the air and release moisture under specific conditions, offering potential for solving water scarcity problems. Studies have shown that MOF-based devices can capture water from the air in low-humidity environments (such as 20% relative humidity), making them particularly suitable for desert and semi-arid regions.

[0003] However, traditional MOF synthesis methods have significant limitations. These methods typically rely on toxic solvents (such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and hydrofluoric acid (HF)) and high-temperature, high-pressure reaction conditions. N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is highly toxic (oral LD50 in rats is 5 g / kg) and has a persistent degradation rate (half-life >100 days), leading to high wastewater treatment costs. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is highly corrosive, posing a threat to equipment and operator safety. High-temperature, high-pressure conditions (such as 250°C and 40 bar) increase energy consumption by 30%-40% and raise equipment maintenance costs. Therefore, traditional MOF synthesis methods not only impose a significant burden on the environment but also increase production costs, limiting their application in industrial production.

[0004] To overcome the above problems, there is an urgent need to develop an environmentally friendly, cost-effective and scalable method for synthesizing MOFs.

[0014] As a further technical solution, microwave-assisted heating is used to heat the solution to the reaction temperature.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the pH adjuster includes acetic acid, citric acid, or nitric acid.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the reaction process includes a step of solid-liquid separation to collect the reaction products and washing the reaction products after the reaction is completed. The solvents used for washing include water and ethanol.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the drying process also includes activating the reaction products.

[0100] A systematic comparison between the method of this invention and traditional methods: The preparation method of this invention is significantly superior to traditional methods in terms of technical feasibility, environmental friendliness, and economy, as detailed below: Technical parameter optimization: Reaction conditions: Traditional methods rely on high temperature and pressure (e.g., 250°C, 40 bar) and toxic solvents (e.g., DMF, HF), while the method of this invention uses a water-based system, reducing the reaction temperature to room temperature to 220°C, and the pressure to atmospheric pressure. For example, the synthesis time of MOF-801 is shortened from 24 hours in the traditional method to 2 hours (microwave-assisted), and energy consumption is reduced by 40%.

[0101] Yield and stability: The yield of the method of this invention is stable at 80%-91%, which is a significant improvement over the traditional method (60%-85%), and the product performance is consistent (e.g., the specific surface area of ​​UiO-66 reaches 1200 m²). 2 / g, compared with the traditional method 1450 m 2 The water adsorption capacity is comparable to that of g, but it is increased by 26% to 30.0 g / 100 g (30% RH).

[0102] Environmental and safety advantages: Solvent substitution: In traditional processes, the high toxicity of DMF (LD50: 5 g / kg) and HF leads to wastewater treatment costs accounting for 15%-20% of the total cost, and their biodegradability is poor (half-life > 100 days); the method of this invention completely eliminates toxic solvents and adopts water or solvent-free systems to achieve zero toxic waste discharge.

[0103] Carbon emissions: The method of this invention can use mild reaction conditions with microwave-assisted heating, which reduces the overall carbon emissions by more than 50% compared with the traditional hydrothermal method (the energy consumption of this invention is 0.5 kWh, which is better than the 1.0 kWh of the traditional hydrothermal method).

[0104] Economic benefits and scalability: Simplified process: Traditional methods require multiple solvent replacements and high-pressure equipment maintenance, while the post-treatment of the method of this invention only requires water / ethanol washing, reducing equipment investment by 40% and making it more suitable for industrial scale-up (such as 500L reactors).

[0105] Product application performance: The UiO-66 prepared by the method of this invention exhibits superior water adsorption performance (30.0 g / 100 g) in low humidity environments (20%-30% RH). Compared with UiO-66 synthesized by the traditional hydrothermal method (Comparative Example 1, 28.0 g / 100 g), its cycle stability is improved, making it particularly suitable for all-weather water capture equipment in arid regions. Compared with traditional methods, this invention has the following significant advantages: Environmentally friendly: completely avoids toxic solvents such as DMF and HF, reducing carbon emissions by more than 50%; Cost-effective: raw material costs are reduced by 20%-30%, and waste treatment costs are reduced by 90%; Highly efficient and energy-saving: microwave-assisted reaction time is shortened to the minute level, reducing energy consumption by 40%; Excellent performance: water adsorption capacity is increased by 26%.
