Abstract:

In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have garnered significant attention due to their large specific surface area, highly tunable pore sizes, and diverse functionalities. These characteristics render MOF promising materials for applications in gas adsorption and separation, catalysis, and sensing. However, the majority of MOF materials remain confined to small-scale synthesis in laboratories. The large-scale production of MOF faces numerous challenges, including stringent synthesis conditions, low yields, and difficult post-processing, limiting their widespread application. Among the various MOF materials, MIL-101(Cr) has gained particular favor from researchers due to its exceptional thermal stability, chemical stability, and ultra-high porosity and specific surface area. MIL-101(Cr) can be synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method using relatively low-cost terephthalic acid and chromium salts, demonstrating significant potential for industrial applications. Nevertheless, in the conventional hydrothermal synthesis process, the small particle size of MIL-101(Cr) leads to difficulties in sedimentation and requires multiple washing steps, which limit the production efficiency. To address this issue, we introduced a flocculant and optimized the flocculation process by adjusting the types and amounts of flocculant used, thereby reducing filtration time and improving production efficiency. Importantly, after adding flocculants, the thermal stability of MIL-101(Cr) was maintained, the BET specific surface area reached 3211 m²/g, and the carbon dioxide adsorption reached 40 cm³/g, and the performance was well maintained.

摘要：

近年来，金属有机骨架材料（MOF）因其比表面积大、孔尺寸高度可调及功能多样等特点，在气体吸附与分离、催化、传感等领域展现出广阔的应用前景。然而，大多数MOF材料仍局限于实验室的小规模合成，MOF宏量制备面临着许多挑战，包括合成条件严苛、产量低以及后处理困难等，限制了其广泛应用的可能性。在众多MOF材料中，MIL-101（Cr）因其卓越的热稳定性、化学稳定性以及超高的孔隙率和比表面积而备受研究者青睐。MIL-101（Cr）可以通过简单的水热合成法，使用成本较低的对苯二甲酸和铬盐进行合成，展现出优异的工业应用潜力。然而，传统水热合成过程中，MIL-101（Cr）颗粒因粒径较小导致沉降困难，需要多次过滤洗涤，这些因素限制了其生产效率。为了解决这一问题，引入了絮凝剂并通过调控絮凝剂的种类和用量，缩短了过滤时间，提高了生产效率。重要的是，加入絮凝剂后MIL-101（Cr）热稳定性得以保持，BET比表面积达到3211 m²/g，二氧化碳吸附量达到40 cm³/g，性能得到了良好的保持。
