Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomass-based flame retardant technology, and in particular to a MOF / COF synergistic modified cellulose biomass composite flame retardant, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Polymer materials, characterized by their lightweight, corrosion resistance, and high plasticity, are widely used in automotive, electronics, medical, and construction industries. However, most polymer materials are flammable, posing fire safety hazards, thus requiring the addition of flame retardants to improve their fire resistance. While halogenated flame retardants are highly effective, they release toxic fumes and corrosive gases during combustion, causing secondary pollution, and their use is increasingly restricted by regulations. Developing novel, efficient, environmentally friendly, low-smoke, and low-toxicity flame retardants has become a current research focus. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are two emerging classes of porous materials that exhibit great potential in catalytic char formation and gas-phase flame retardancy due to their high specific surface area, tunable pore size, and functionalization capabilities. However, nanoscale MOF / COF particles are prone to agglomeration, making uniform dispersion in polymer matrices difficult, and their high synthesis cost limits their widespread application.
[0003] Cellulose-rich biomass, especially agricultural wastes such as sugarcane bagasse, corn stalks, and rice husks, is produced in huge quantities annually, is inexpensive, readily available, and renewable. The core component of these materials is cellulose, which has a rigid linear chain and abundant hydroxyl groups, providing a robust framework and numerous surface-active sites. By pretreatment (such as alkali treatment) to remove some hemicellulose and lignin, cellulose can be further purified, exposing more hydroxyl groups and forming a hierarchical porous structure, making it an ideal carrier material. Simultaneously, cellulose itself is also a highly efficient carbon source. Currently, most of this type of biomass is discarded or incinerated for low value, resulting in resource waste. Existing technologies mostly focus on the combination of single MOFs or COFs with biomass, failing to fully utilize the synergistic effect of MOFs and COFs. How to combine the catalytic activity of MOFs with the stable adsorption function of COFs, and rely on the natural structure of cellulose-based biomass, to construct a synergistic and multifunctional flame retardant is a problem urgently needing to be solved in this field.

The "mass ratio of MOF to COF" refers to the ratio of the absolute masses of the two materials actually loaded in the final composite flame retardant.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] The sequential growth method was used to prepare the SCB@COF@ZIF-67 composite flame retardant, and the steps are as follows:
[0039] (1) Grind and sieve the bagasse to obtain a 100-mesh powder, and dry it at 105℃ for 8 hours. Take 50 g of dried bagasse, add 500 mL of 5% NaOH solution, and mechanically stir the mixture in an 80℃ water bath for 6 hours. After cooling, filter and wash with water until neutral. Disperse the alkali-treated bagasse in 500 mL of an aqueous solution with pH=4.5 (adjusted with glacial acetic acid), add 5 g of sodium chlorite, and stir the mixture at 75℃ for 4 hours. After the reaction is complete, filter and wash with deionized water until no chloride ions are detected. Place the obtained product in a vacuum drying oven at 60℃ and dry for 48 hours to obtain pretreated bagasse P-SCB.
[0040] (2) Dissolve 60 g of citric acid and 24 g of sodium hypophosphite in 600 mL of deionized water to prepare a modifier of 10 wt% CA + 4 wt% SHP. Weigh 20 g of P-SCB and add it to the above modifier, then soak it at 30°C for 2 hours. Filter the soaked mixture to obtain a wet material, place it in a forced-air drying oven, and react it at 170°C for 8 minutes. Wash the reacted sample repeatedly with hot deionized water at 80°C until neutral, and finally dry it in a vacuum oven at 70°C for 12 hours to obtain carboxylated bagasse C-SCB.
[0041] (3) Dissolve 84 mg of trimesin (Tp) in 10 mL of a mixed solvent of trimesin / dioxane (v / v=5:5) (solution A); dissolve 54 mg of p-phenylenediamine (Pa-1) in 10 mL of the above mixed solvent (solution B). Disperse 0.5 g of C-SCB in solution A and sonicate for 30 minutes. Then, quickly pour solution B into the above mixture and gently shake to mix evenly. Transfer the mixture to a 50 mL hydrothermal reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene, seal it, and place it in an oven at 120°C for 72 hours. After the reaction, collect the solid product by filtration, extract with anhydrous acetone using a Soxhlet extractor, wash continuously for 24 hours, and finally activate in a vacuum oven at 120°C for 6 hours to obtain the sugarcane bagasse@TpPa-1 intermediate SCB@TpPa-1.
[0042] (4) Dissolve 0.73 g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate in 50 mL of methanol (solution I); dissolve 1.64 g of 2-methylimidazole in 50 mL of methanol (solution II). Weigh 0.5 g of intermediate SCB@TpPa-1 and add it to solution I. Sonicate at room temperature for 30 minutes, then soak in a shaker at 150 rpm for 2 hours. Under vigorous stirring, quickly pour solution II into the above mixture, stir continuously for 10 minutes, and then allow to stand at 30°C for 12 hours. After the reaction is complete, wash four times with methanol by centrifugation, and finally dry in a vacuum oven at 60°C for 12 hours to obtain the sugarcane bagasse@TpPa-1@ZIF-67 ternary composite flame retardant SCB@COF@MOF. The intermediate and the final product were characterized and calculated by thermogravimetric analysis. The COF loading in the SCB@TpPa-1 intermediate obtained in this example is about 15% (based on the mass of C-SCB). Based on this, ZIF-67 was further grown, resulting in the final SCB@COF@MOF ternary composite flame retardant. In this flame retardant, the mass ratio of MOF to COF was approximately 5:1, and the total loading of MOF and COF was approximately 90% (based on the mass of C-SCB). Infrared spectroscopy was performed on pretreated bagasse P-SCB, carboxylated bagasse C-SCB, intermediate SCB@TpPa-1, and the composite flame retardant SCB@COF@ZIF-67. Figure 1 As can be seen in the C-SCB spectrum of carboxylated bagasse, at ~3500 cm⁻¹ -1 The left and right sides are cellulose OH and carboxylic acid OH, ~1730 cm -1 The left and right sides represent the C=O stretching vibrations of carboxylic acids or esters. In the spectrum of the intermediate SCB@TpPa-1, ~1620 cm⁻¹ -1 An absorption peak appeared, which is the characteristic stretching vibration peak of the C=N bond formed in the imine condensation reaction, ~1730 cm⁻¹. -1The C=O characteristic peak at this point is significantly weakened, indicating that the carboxyl group may have participated in interfacial interactions or undergone a reaction during the synthesis of COF. In the spectrum of the composite flame retardant SCB@COF@ZIF-67, the peak at ~1140 cm⁻¹ is significantly weakened. -1 ~990 cm -1 and ~750 cm -1 A series of characteristic absorption peaks belonging to the 2-methylimidazole ligand in ZIF-67 appeared in various locations.
[0043] Comparative Example 1
[0044] Same as Example 1, except that only SCB@TpPa-1 was synthesized and the MOF layer was not further grown.
[0045] Comparative Example 2
[0046] The SCB@ZIF-67 composite flame retardant was synthesized in the same way as in Example 1, except that carboxylated sugarcane bagasse C-SCB was used directly as a carrier to grow the MOF layer in step (4), without pre-growing the COF layer.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] The SCB@TpBD@ZIF-8 composite flame retardant was prepared by sequential growth method, the same as in Example 1, except that in step (2), 20 g of P-SCB was added to 600 mL of 3 vol% APTES / ethanol solution and reacted at 70°C for 6 hours. Afterwards, it was washed with ethanol and dried to obtain aminated sugarcane bagasse N-SCB. Using N-SCB as a carrier, a COF layer TpBD was grown according to the method in Example 1. Then, using the SCB@TpBD intermediate as a carrier, zinc nitrate hexahydrate as the metal salt, and 2-methylimidazole as the ligand, ZIF-8 was grown according to the room temperature method in Example 1. The mass ratio of MOF to COF was 3.8:1, resulting in the SCB@TpBD@ZIF-8 composite flame retardant. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that, based on the mass of the sugarcane bagasse carrier, the total loading of MOF and COF in the composite flame retardant obtained in this example was approximately 95%.
[0049] Example 3
[0050] The one-pot method for preparing SCB@ZIF-8@COF-LZU1 composite flame retardant comprises the following steps:
[0051] 1.0 g of pretreated sugarcane bagasse (pretreatment steps as in Example 1), 0.5 g of zinc nitrate hexahydrate, 1.0 g of 2-methylimidazole, 0.2 g of trimesaldehyde, and 0.15 g of p-phenylenediamine were dispersed in a DMF / acetonitrile (v / v=5:5) mixed solvent. The mixture was transferred to a reaction vessel and reacted at 90°C for 48 hours. After cooling, the mixture was washed sequentially with DMF and ethanol, and dried to obtain the SCB@ZIF-8@COF-LZU1 composite flame retardant. The mass ratio of MOF to COF was approximately 1.3:1. Based on the mass of the sugarcane bagasse carrier, the total loading of MOF and COF in the composite flame retardant obtained in this example was approximately 65% by thermogravimetric analysis.
[0052] Infrared spectroscopy was performed on pretreated bagasse and SCB@ZIF-8@COF-LZU1 composite flame retardant. Figure 2 As can be seen, at ~1620 cm -1 The sharp absorption peak at ~1100 cm⁻¹ corresponds to the stretching vibration of the imine bond (C=N) in COF-LZU1. -1 and ~990 cm -1 The two characteristic absorption peaks appearing at ~740 cm⁻¹ belong to the CN stretching vibration of the imidazole ring in ZIF-8. -1 The sharp, strong peak that appears is due to the out-of-plane bending vibration of the ZIF-8 imidazole ring.
[0053] Example 4
[0054] The one-pot preparation method for SCB@ZIF-67@TpPa-1 composite flame retardant is as follows:
[0055] 0.5 g of carboxylated bagasse (pretreatment and carboxylation modification steps are the same as in Example 1) was weighed and dispersed together with 0.73 g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, 1.64 g of 2-methylimidazole, 84 mg of trimesaldehyde, and 54 mg of p-phenylenediamine in a 20 mL mixed solvent of trimesyl / dioxane (v / v=1:1). The mixture was sonicated for 30 minutes to ensure thorough dispersion, and then transferred to a 50 mL hydrothermal reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene. After sealing, the reactor was placed in a 90 °C oven for 48 hours. Post-treatment: After the reaction, the mixture was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature, and the solid product was collected by filtration. The product was washed repeatedly with methanol and acetone several times to thoroughly remove unreacted monomers, precursors, and solvents. Finally, the product was dried in a 60 °C vacuum oven for 12 hours to obtain the bagasse@ZIF-67@TpPa-1 composite flame retardant, denoted as SCB@MOF@COF (one-pot method). The mass ratio of MOF to COF is approximately 4:1.

[0081] .
[0082] The test results above show that, compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the cellulosic biomass composite flame retardant obtained in Example 1 has the best product performance. The two exhibit functional complementarity and spatial synergy in the "COF adsorption / barrier-MOF catalytic char formation" mechanism. Specifically, the porous structure of COF can adsorb molten polymers and capture gaseous free radicals, while providing a well-dispersed growth substrate for MOF; MOF, on the other hand, strongly catalyzes the formation of a denser and more stable graphitized carbon layer on the polymer and biomass carrier in the condensed phase. The MOF / COF synergistically modified cellulosic biomass composite flame retardant prepared in this invention possesses excellent flame retardant properties and smoke suppression effects.

It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
