Abstract:
Recently, methanol-to-olefins (MTO) technology has been widely used. The development of new adsorbents to separate MTO products and obtain high-purity ethylene (C2H4) and propylene (C3H6) has become an urgent task. Herein, an exceptionally highly water-stable metal-organic framework (MOF), [Cu-3(OH)(2)(Me(2)BPZ)(2)](solvent)(x) (1) (H(2)Me(2)BPZ = 3,3 '-dimethyl-1H,1 ' H-4,4 '-bipyrazole) with hexagonal pores, has been elaborately designed and constructed. After being soaked in water for 7 days, it still maintains its structure, and the uptake of N-2 at 77 K is unchanged. The adsorption capacity of C3H6 can reach 138 cm(3) g(-1), while the uptake of C2H4 is only 52 cm(3) g(-1) at 298 K and 1 bar. The dynamic breakthrough experiments show that the mixture of C3H6/C2H4 (50/50, v/v) can be efficiently separated in one step. High-purity C2H4 and C3H6 can be obtained through an adsorption and desorption cycle and the yields of C2H4 (purity >= 99.95%) and C3H6 (purity >= 99%) are 84 and 48 L kg(-1), respectively. Surprisingly, when the flow rate is increased, the separation performance has no obvious change. Additionally, humidity has no effect on the separation performance. Finally, theoretical simulations indicate that there are stronger interactions between the C3H6 molecule and the framework, which are beneficial to capturing C3H6 over C2H4.
