Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of nanomaterial preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a zirconium-based metal organic framework material by using a non-volatile organic carboxylate salt as a regulator and the zirconium-based metal organic framework material. BACKGROUND

[0002] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a kind of crystalline porous materials formed by connecting metal ions or metal clusters with organic ligands through coordination bonds, and have characteristics such as a designable pore structure, a tunable composition and abundant functional sites, and have shown application potential in fields such as gas adsorption and separation, water vapor adsorption, catalysis, sensing and environmental governance.

[0003] Zirconium-based metal organic framework materials are usually constructed by connecting zirconium-oxygen clusters formed by hydrolysis of Zr(IV) ions with polycarboxylic acid organic ligands, and representative materials include MOF-801 using fumaric acid as a ligand, UiO series using terephthalic acid, 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid and functional derivatives thereof as ligands, and MOF-808 using trimesic acid as a ligand. The above-mentioned materials have high chemical stability, tunable pore structure and abundant node coordination sites, and have application value in fields such as water vapor adsorption, gas adsorption and separation, pollutant adsorption and catalysis. The ligand structures and node connection modes used by different zirconium-based MOFs are different, but the aqueous phase crystallization process thereof involves processes such as hydrolysis of a zirconium source, generation of a zirconium-oxygen cluster, deprotonation of an organic ligand, coordination competition, formation of a crystal nucleus and crystal growth.

[0004] Traditional zirconium-based MOFs are usually synthesized in organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and free carboxylic acids such as formic acid and acetic acid are used as regulators to control the formation of zirconium-oxygen clusters, crystal nucleation and growth by competition between carboxylate and zirconium species. Free acids such as formic acid and acetic acid have high volatility, and can easily cause fluctuations in the actual amount of the regulator added and the composition of the system during feeding, temperature rising, temperature maintaining and refluxing; in the process of scale-up preparation, it also increases the burden of collecting volatile acidic components, tail gas treatment and material balance control.

[0023] At a temperature of 20~100℃, organic polycarboxylic acid ligands are added to water, followed by the addition of non-volatile organic carboxylic acid salt regulators.

Then, non-volatile organic carboxylic acid salt regulators are added, and the mixture is stirred or dispersed for 10~120 min until homogeneous to obtain a ligand-regulator aqueous phase system.

[0026] Furthermore, when the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material is UiO-66, the organic polycarboxylic acid ligand is terephthalic acid, and the molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to terephthalic acid is (0.5~2.0):1.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0035] (1) This invention uses zirconium source as raw material, organic polycarboxylic acid ligand, non-volatile organic carboxylic acid salt regulator and water to construct a unified aqueous crystallization system. The non-volatile organic carboxylic acid salt is used as a source of carboxylic acid and a competitive coordination regulator, which can maintain the carboxylic acid effect required for zirconium species coordination regulation and crystal growth control. For regulators with low water solubility of corresponding free carboxylic acid, salt formation can improve their solubility or dispersion in the aqueous phase, so that the regulator participates in the zirconium species coordination and crystallization process in a more uniform state, further expanding the scope of application of regulators under pure aqueous phase conditions.

[0036] (2) Non-volatile organic carboxylates can be added quantitatively in the form of stable solids or aqueous solutions. They have a relatively stable material composition during heating, crystallization and reflux, which is beneficial for controlling the actual amount of regulator added, the ratio of reactants and the consistency of processes between batches.

[0037] (3) The present invention uses water as a crystallization medium and a salt-type regulator to form a preparation system with low organic solvent load and low volatile acid load, thereby reducing the collection of volatile acid components and tail gas treatment pressure, and is compatible with the batch scale-up process of mechanical stirring, jacket temperature control and condensation reflux.

[0038] (4) Non-volatile organic carboxylates have a rich variety of structural types. Different carboxyl group structures can be selected according to the ligand composition and crystallization conditions of the target zirconium-based MOF, expanding the range of regulators that can be selected for the traditional formic acid and acetic acid regulation system, and are applicable to the aqueous phase preparation of various zirconium-based MOFs.

[0049] This invention provides a method for preparing zirconium-based metal-organic framework materials by regulating the use of non-volatile organic carboxylates, comprising the following steps.

[0050] S1. Add the zirconium source to deionized water, stir to dissolve or disperse evenly to obtain a zirconium source aqueous phase system.

[0051] In one possible embodiment, the zirconium source includes any one or more of zirconium oxychloride octahydrate (ZrOCl2·8H2O), zirconium oxynitrate, zirconium nitrate, zirconium sulfate, zirconium acetate, or their hydrates, preferably a zirconium source capable of forming a homogeneous system in water, such as zirconium oxychloride octahydrate, zirconium oxynitrate, or zirconium sulfate.

[0052] S2. Determine the organic polycarboxylic acid ligand based on the target zirconium-based metal-organic framework material.

[0053] The organic polycarboxylic acid ligands were determined based on the target zirconium-based metal-organic framework material.

[0054] When the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material is MOF-801, the organic polycarboxylic acid ligand is fumaric acid.

[0055] When the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material is UiO-66, the organic polycarboxylic acid ligand is terephthalic acid.

[0060] In one possible embodiment, when the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material is any one of UiO-66, UiO-67, and MOF-808, the preparation of the ligand-modifier aqueous system further includes a deprotonation process. Specifically, this includes the following steps: At a temperature of 20–100°C, the organic polycarboxylic acid ligand is added to water, followed by the addition of a 0.1–4 mol / L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution for deprotonation treatment. Then, a non-volatile organic carboxylic acid salt modifier is added, and the mixture is stirred or assisted in dispersion for 10–120 min until homogeneous, thus obtaining the ligand-modifier aqueous system.

[0061] Specifically, when the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material is UiO-66, the molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to terephthalic acid is (0.5~2.0):1. When the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material is UiO-67, the molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to 4,4′-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid is (1.0~2.0):1.

[0063] In one possible embodiment, the salt-forming cation in the non-volatile organic carboxylate regulator includes one or more of alkali metal ions, alkaline earth metal ions, and ammonium ions, preferably sodium ions or potassium ions.

[0064] Non-volatile organic carboxylate regulators specifically include any one or more of the following: sodium benzoate, disodium terephthalate, sodium pyridine-2-carboxylate, sodium acetate, sodium dihydrogen citrate, disodium succinate, sodium o-chlorobenzoate, sodium m-chlorobenzoate, sodium p-chlorobenzoate, sodium o-bromobenzoate, sodium m-bromobenzoate, sodium p-bromobenzoate, sodium o-methylbenzoate, sodium m-methylbenzoate, sodium p-methylbenzoate, sodium dichlorobenzoate, sodium dibromobenzoate, sodium dimethylbenzoate, sodium fluorobenzoate, sodium iodobenzoate, sodium hydroxybenzoate, sodium methoxybenzoate, sodium citrate, trisodium citrate dihydrate, sodium malate, sodium tartrate, sodium oxalate, sodium malonate, sodium succinate, sodium glutarate, sodium adipate, sodium decanoate, sodium gluconate, sodium glycolate, sodium lactate, sodium salicylate, sodium nicotinic acid, or sodium pyridinecarboxylate.

[0065] Furthermore, the solubility of the free organic carboxylic acid corresponding to the non-volatile organic carboxylic acid salt regulator in water at 25°C is not higher than 5 g / L, preferably not higher than 1 g / L; the corresponding organic carboxylic acid salt can form a homogeneous aqueous phase system under the preparation conditions of the ligand-regulator aqueous phase system.

[0066] S3. Mix the zirconium source aqueous system with the ligand-modifier aqueous system, stirring at 50-500 rpm for 10-120 min until homogeneous, ensuring full contact between the zirconium source, organic polycarboxylic acid ligand, and non-volatile organic carboxylic acid salt modifier. Place the mixture in a sealed reaction vessel, a heatable reaction container, or a batch reactor with a reflux condenser, using water as the sole solvent, and crystallize at 60-140℃ for 2-48 h. Small-scale laboratory tests can be conducted in a closed reaction vessel; scale-up preparation can be carried out in a batch reactor with mechanical stirring, jacketed temperature control, and a reflux condenser at 95-105℃ for 6-30 h, with a reaction volume of 1-10 L and a stirring speed of 50-500 rpm. After the reaction is complete, cool to obtain a zirconium-based metal-organic framework material slurry.

[0067] In one possible embodiment, when the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material is MOF-801, UiO-66, UiO-66-NH2, UiO-66-(COOH)2, or UiO-67, the molar ratio of zirconium, organic polycarboxylic acid ligand, and non-volatile organic carboxylic acid salt modifier in the zirconium source is 1:(0.5~2.0):(0.1~20), preferably 1:(0.8~1.2):(1~10). When the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material is MOF-808, the molar ratio of zirconium source, organic polycarboxylic acid ligand, and non-volatile organic carboxylic acid salt modifier is 1:(0.2~0.6):(0.1~20).

[0068] The concentration of zirconium in the reaction system is 0.01~1 mol / L.

[0069] S4. The zirconium-based metal-organic framework material slurry is filtered, pressure filtered, or centrifuged to obtain a solid. When centrifuging, the centrifugation speed is 3000~10000 rpm, and the centrifugation time is 5~30 min. The obtained solid is first washed with water to remove soluble inorganic salts, unreacted zirconium sources, and free ligands, and then washed with ethanol to replace residual moisture and organic residues between particles and in the pores. Water washing and ethanol washing are performed 1~5 times each. Then, it is dried at 60~120℃ for 6~24 h and activated under vacuum at 80~200℃ for 4~24 h to obtain the zirconium-based metal-organic framework material.

[0070] This invention employs non-volatile organic carboxylates as a source of carboxylate and a competing coordination modifier, providing a low-volatility and easily measurable alternative to traditional free small-molecule carboxylic acid regulation systems such as formic acid and acetic acid. It also reduces the operational and exhaust gas treatment burden associated with the direct addition of volatile free acids. Non-volatile organic carboxylates exhibit a relatively stable material composition during feeding, heating, and crystallization, which is beneficial for controlling the reactant ratio and batch consistency. For organic carboxylic acids with low water solubility, such as benzoic acid and its substituted derivatives, and medium- and long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids, salt formation can further improve their solubility or dispersion in the aqueous phase, allowing the modifier to participate more uniformly in the coordination and crystallization process of zirconium species. Therefore, using non-volatile organic carboxylates as modifiers to construct an aqueous zirconium-based MOF preparation method improves the controllability of the process composition and is suitable for batch-scale preparation.

Stir for 20 min to form a uniformly dispersed ligand-modifier aqueous phase system.

[0080] The zirconium source aqueous system and the ligand-modifier aqueous system were mixed and stirred for 30 min before being transferred to a 25 mL polytetrafluoroethylene-lined reactor.
