Abstract

Designing an adsorbent that can simultaneously trap acetylene (C₂H₂) and ethane (C₂H₆) impurities for the one-step purification of ethylene (C₂H₄) remains a challenge. Herein, we constructed a novel Cu-based metal–organic framework (MOF), BUT-321, which exhibits the selective adsorption of C₂H₂ and C₂H₆ over C₂H₄. It was found that the high density of oxygen binding sites within the pore channels of BUT-321 can build an optimal environment for stronger interactions with C₂H₆, compared to the isostructural MOF BUT-320. Column breakthrough experiments confirm the exceptional C₂H₄ separation performance of BUT-321 from both binary (1:1 for C₂H₂/C₂H₄ or C₂H₆/C₂H₄) and ternary (1:1:1 for C₂H₂/C₂H₄/C₂H₆) gas mixtures in a single step. In addition, BUT-321 exhibits good chemical stability in water and an alkaline solution, combined with its synthesis scalability, economic viability, and recyclability, thus facilitating the application for the one-step C₂H₄ purification.

优化 MOF 中孔隙的微环境，提高三元组分混合物中乙烯的纯化率

设计一种能同时吸附乙炔（C2H2）和乙烷（C2H6）杂质的吸附剂以一步法提纯乙烯（C2H4）仍然是一项挑战。在此，我们构建了一种新型铜基金属有机框架 (MOF)--BUT-321，它可以选择性地吸附 C2H2 和 C2H6，而不吸附 C2H4。研究发现，与等结构 MOF BUT-320 相比，BUT-321 孔道内高密度的氧结合位点能为 C2H6 与 C2H2 的更强相互作用创造最佳环境。色谱柱突破实验证实了 BUT-321 从二元（C2H2/C2H4 或 C2H6/C2H4，1:1）和三元（C2H2/C2H4/C2H6，1:1:1）气体混合物中分离 C2H4 的优异性能。此外，BUT-321 在水和碱性溶液中具有良好的化学稳定性，同时还具有合成可扩展性、经济可行性和可回收性，因此有助于一步法 C2H4 纯化的应用。
