Abstract
SF6 has been widely used as an insulating medium, but it can also cause serious greenhouse effect. The efficient separation of SF6 appears very important and challenging. A stable and scalable synthesis of Al-MOF (MOF-303) is reported in the present work, which possesses an appropriate pore size (6.79 Å) that matches the dynamic diameter of SF6 molecules (5.2 Å). MOF-303 shows a higher adsorption capacity of SF6 (49.70 cm3/g) at low pressure (10 kPa) and ambient temperature, and the excellent adsorption selectivity of SF6/N2 (10:90) achieves 183.37 at ambient conditions. Meanwhile, breakthrough experiments exhibit that MOF-303 can efficiently separate high purify SF6 form SF6/N2 mixtures at ambient conditions. The relevant experimental conclusions have been further verified by theoretical calculations. The stronger binding energy between MOF-303 and SF6 molecule should be responsible for the efficient SF6 adsorption and separation. More importantly, the adsorption capacity of SF6 by the particle sample has decreased, but it still exhibits excellent gas separation ability. The results will contribute to the design efficient and practical gas separation materials.
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
