The present invention provides an application of a
metal-organic framework material JNU-2 in separating chemical
benzene compounds and / or
hexane isomers. The application adopts a
penetration test for separation, comprising the following steps: (1) first activating the
metal-organic framework material JNU-2; (2) filling 0.7-1.2 g of the
metal-organic framework material JNU-2
powder into a stainless steel column filled with
silica glass wool, and performing an
ionization reaction at a temperature of 353 K and a carrier gas of
helium at a flow rate of 3.0-20 mL min ‑1 Penetration experiments with gaseous mixtures of two or more chemical
benzene compounds or
hexane isomers were conducted. The material's interconnected channels and pores, along with a window aperture of approximately #imgabs0#, are larger than the kinetic diameters of #imgabs1# and #imgabs2# but comparable to #imgabs3#. This prevents oX molecules from diffusing into the
internal cavity of JNU‑2, as is the case with other
BTEX molecules. Furthermore, this value is within the
molecular size range of
hexane isomers, effectively excluding the slightly larger 22DMB molecule.
