Preparation of mesoporous hollow CMPs microspheres based on kinetic quantum sieving effect and its application in radioactive element adsorption

The present invention discloses a method for constructing a CMPs adsorption material with a special hollow mesoporous structure based on the kinetic quantum sieving (KQS) effect. According to the size of the target molecule (iodine / cesium), the type of building block unit, the molecular chain length and the unit ratio of the skeleton structure are cleverly designed and regulated. 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene and 2,6-dibromonaphthalene or 2,7-dibromonaphthalene are used as monomers, and the Sonogashhara-Hagihara cross-coupling condensation reaction is adopted to synthesize a CMPs adsorption material with precise pore size requirements, so as to meet the efficient selective adsorption of the adsorption material to the target molecule. Based on the special hollow structure of the synthesized CMPs material, the problem of low diffusion rate caused by low temperature and microporous structure in I / Cs ion transfer can be effectively solved; the prepared CMPs-1 with a hollow mesoporous structure showed an iodide ion absorption rate of up to 16.93 mg g in 6 hours in an extreme low-temperature static adsorption experiment at 10°C. ‑1 The adsorption capacity of iodine ions reached 26.32 mg g at 30 °C. ‑1 . This is mainly attributed to the matching mesoporous structure (3-8 nm) of the synthesized CMPs material, and the three-dimensional network can provide sufficient space to accelerate the diffusion rate of reactants and intermediates, exposing more active sites. The synthetic strategy provided by the present invention can provide inspiration for the design and construction of porous functionalized adsorption materials for efficient adsorption / separation of specific targets.
