Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas adsorption and separation, specifically relating to the preparation method of o-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid modified Ni-Mg-MOF-74 and its application in CO2 adsorption. Background Technology
[0002] With industrial development, humanity has had an unprecedented impact on the environment. The process of industrialization has led to the emission of greenhouse gases. Large amounts of CO2 emissions have had a significant impact on the environment, such as ocean acidification and global warming. Therefore, carbon reduction is an urgent task. Most of the emitted CO2 comes from the flue gas of power plants that burn fossil fuels; therefore, reducing CO2 emissions from point sources can be achieved through carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.
[0003] Various physical adsorption materials have been reported for carbon dioxide adsorption, but they face problems such as high energy consumption and equipment corrosion. Compared with traditional adsorbents, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have advantages such as high specific surface area and easily adjustable pore size, and are widely used in gas adsorption and separation. MOF-74 greatly improves CO2 adsorption capacity due to its high density of open metal sites, but this also makes it highly susceptible to water adsorption, causing structural collapse. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the water stability and high adsorption capacity of the framework. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the problems of poor material structural stability and low CO2 / N2 selectivity by introducing polar tube groups to address the shortcomings of solvent synthesis. It provides a method for preparing o-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid-modified Ni-Mg-MOF-74 and its application in CO2 adsorption. The Ni-Mg-MOF-74-TBA of this invention enhances material stability and increases CO2 adsorption capacity.

[0006] Furthermore, the synthesis method of the Ni-Mg-MOF-74 precursor includes: dissolving H4dobdc, magnesium salt, and nickel salt in a mixed solvent composed of DMF, ethanol, and water, with a total volume of 25 mL, and placing the solution in a 50 mL reaction flask and sonicating it until fully dissolved; after stirring for 1 hour, transferring the mixed solution to a 100 mL reaction vessel liner and continuing to stir for 2 hours; sealing the reaction vessel and reacting at 135°C for 24 hours; after the reaction, washing twice with DMF and four times with methanol; collecting the solid product and vacuum drying at 60°C for 24 hours to obtain the Ni-Mg-MOF-74 precursor, which is then activated under vacuum conditions for later use.
