Description

A method for preparing crown ether covalent organic framework materials and its application in iodine adsorption. (I) Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a novel covalent organic framework material with an 18-crown hexaether group, specifically for iodine adsorption, and belongs to the field of adsorption separation. (II) Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, waste products from the use of nuclear fuel have produced substances containing iodine isotopes ( 129 I and 131 Volatile radioactive compounds (I) must be removed from these exhaust gases before they are emitted. Compared to traditional treatment processes used to adsorb radioactive iodine and other iodine-containing compounds from exhaust gases, adsorption processes using porous solid adsorbents offer many advantages, including simple operation, low maintenance costs, and the elimination of the need for highly corrosive solutions. Currently, various adsorbents have been developed for iodine adsorption applications, including ceramics, zeolites, aerogels, metal-organic frameworks, and other materials. As an emerging adsorbent, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are widely used due to their low density, high porosity, and excellent iodine adsorption capacity. Studies on iodine adsorption in COF materials have found that electron-rich adsorbents can effectively adsorb electron-deficient iodine by forming complexes. To prepare electron-rich adsorbents, various synthetic strategies have been developed, including constructing π-π conjugated bonds, doping with a large number of heteroatoms, and adding different heterocycles (such as triazine rings, pyrazine rings, etc.). Furthermore, N-containing functional groups (such as amines, imines, imidazoles, triazines, and pyridines) have been introduced into the framework structure to promote high iodine adsorption capacity.

[0003] Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) not only possess stable and tunable porous structures but also facilitate the design of functional group structures and properties. The crystallinity of COFs provides a well-defined, regular pore structure and the designability of active sites within the framework, which is beneficial for many applications in catalysis, adsorption, and separation, including iodine adsorption. In principle, by designing suitable monomers or through post-synthetic modification, COFs can possess the desired adsorption active sites for functionalization, thereby achieving high iodine adsorption capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate 18-crown-hexaenoic ether groups into the pore structure of COFs while maintaining high crystallinity and high porosity. This allows the COF material to simultaneously possess a one-dimensional pore structure and 18-crown-hexaenoic ether groups capable of complexing with iodine, significantly improving the iodine adsorption performance of the COF material.
