Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of adsorption separation materials technology, specifically relating to a metal-organic framework for removing butadiene from 1-butene. Background Technology
[0002] 1-Butene is a crucial comonomer and chemical feedstock in the petrochemical and polymer industries, primarily used in the synthesis of poly(linear low-density polyethylene) and high-density polyethylene. However, industrially produced 1-butene typically originates from the C4 hydrocarbon fraction of fluidized bed catalytic cracking products, with a 1-butene content of approximately 10% and the presence of 0.5% butadiene impurities in the mixed components. The presence of butadiene impurities not only prevents the 1-butene comonomer from meeting quality specifications but also affects the molecular chain structure and regularity of the copolymer, thereby impairing product performance. Therefore, removing butadiene from 1-butene is crucial for achieving polymer-grade products. Due to their very similar physicochemical properties—1-butene has a boiling point of -6.1°C, while butadiene has a boiling point of -4.4°C—and their similar kinetic diameters, removing butadiene from 1-butene is extremely challenging.
[0003] Currently, the industrial use of modified palladium-based noble metal catalysts for selective hydrogenation has drawbacks. High loading of the modifier reduces the dispersion of the noble metal, leading to a decrease or uneven distribution of its active sites. Furthermore, high-temperature treatment can cause over-hydrogenation to generate butane, or the isomerization products of 1-butene, such as cis-2-butene or trans-2-butene, which can also cause hydrogenation of some 1-butene. In addition to generating 1-butene, 2-butene may also be generated, resulting in an impure final product. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a metal-organic framework, its preparation method and application, which solves the technical problem of impure products when using catalysts to remove butadiene from 1-butene in the above-mentioned background art.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: A metal-organic framework is provided, wherein a metal ion from a metal salt is coordinated with two carboxylic acid organic ligands and two nitrogen-containing organic ligands to form tetrahedral coordination. The carboxylic acid organic ligands coordinate with the metal ion through oxygen atoms, and the nitrogen-containing organic ligands coordinate with the metal ion through nitrogen atoms. The metal ion is bridged with the single-bonded oxygen atoms on the carboxylic acid organic ligands to construct a one-dimensional chain structure. Four adjacent one-dimensional chain structures are coordinated and connected through nitrogen-containing organic ligands to obtain a metal-organic framework with a three-dimensional network structure.
[0006] Preferably, the metal-organic framework has a pore size of 0.3~2.0 nm and a pore volume of 0.1~0.8 cm³. 3 / g, porosity 20~35%, specific surface area 200~800m² 2 / g.
[0007] Preferably, the anion in the metal salt is any one of nitrate, halide, perchlorate, carbonate, sulfate, fluoroborate, and acetate; the carboxylic acid organic ligand is a tetradentate carboxylic acid organic ligand; and the nitrogen-containing organic ligand is a tetradentate imidazole ligand.
[0008] Preferably, the tetradentate carboxylic acid organic ligand is 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic acid or 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic anhydride.
[0009] Preferably, the tetradentate imidazole ligand is 1,2,4,5-tetra(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene.
[0010] A method for preparing a metal-organic framework includes the following steps: A metal-organic framework is obtained by mixing a metal salt, a carboxylic acid organic ligand, and a nitrogen-containing organic ligand, adding the mixture to a solution, heating, filtering, and activating the mixture; the solution consists of an organic solvent and water.
[0011] Preferably, the ratio of the metal salt, carboxylic acid organic ligand, nitrogen-containing organic ligand, and the mixed solution is 1 mmol: 0.1 mmol to 10 mmol: 0.1 mmol to 10 mmol: 30 mL to 200 mL; the heating temperature is 60 to 240 °C for 48 to 90 h; and the activation temperature is 80 to 150 °C for 8 to 16 h. Preferably, the organic solvent is any one of methanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, and isopropanol.
[0012] Preferably, the volume ratio of the organic solvent to water is 1~99:99~1.
[0013] Preferably, the metal-organic framework is used for the removal of butadiene from 1-butene.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) In this invention, the metal-organic framework is obtained by coordinating metal ions in the metal salt with carboxylic acid organic ligands and nitrogen-containing organic ligands respectively to obtain tetrahedral coordination. Then, the metal ions in the parallel tetrahedral coordination are bridged by carboxylic acid organic ligands to obtain one-dimensional chains. The two one-dimensional chains are further connected by four nitrogen-containing organic ligands to obtain a metal-organic framework with a three-dimensional network structure. The metal-organic framework has a "small window-large cavity" structure that matches the butadiene molecule, realizing size exclusion for 1-butene, while being compatible with the high adsorption capacity of butadiene under low pressure. The pore size of the metal-organic framework is 0.3~2.0 nm. For example, the metal-organic framework channel constructed in this invention has a window structure that excludes 1-butene molecules, making it difficult for 1-butene molecules to pass through and thus repelling them. The window size is extremely well matched with the butadiene molecules, allowing them to enter smoothly. At the same time, the cavity structure formed by the constructed metal-organic framework is extremely well matched with the size and shape of the butadiene molecules. Therefore, it is possible to achieve efficient sieving and separation of butadiene molecules and 1-butene molecules.
[0015] (2) In this invention, 1,4,5,8-naphthoic acid, which has strong symmetry, is used as an organic ligand to coordinate with metal ion nodes in the architecture, exhibiting a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. Furthermore, it self-assembles and assembles to form a PTS topological ultraporous metal-organic framework adsorbent with adaptable pores for guest molecules. This type of metal-organic framework material has suitable pore sizes, enabling it to exhibit efficient sieving between butadiene and 1-butene through size effects, achieving the goal of separating and producing high-purity 1-butene from a mixture of butadiene and 1-butene in one step.
[0016] (3) The metal-organic framework of the present invention has a diverse structure and a highly tunable pore system, which can be used as an adsorbent for the industrially challenging removal of butadiene from 1-butene.
[0017] (4) This invention is the first to remove butadiene from 1-butene by metal-organic framework adsorption separation technology, and obtain high-purity 1-butene to meet downstream demand. Attached Figure Description
