摘要

Developing efficient adsorbents for separating methanol-to-olefins (MTO) products to obtain high-purity C3H6 and C2H4 is of great importance to the chemical industry. However, given the high-temperature and high-humidity conditions in practical separation processes, adsorbents must possess exceptional stability and water resistance. We herein report a dual-pore hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-TDBB) that demonstrates not only a significant difference in C3H6/C2H4 adsorption but also excellent framework stability, thus achieving superior C3H6/C2H4 separations under industrially harsh conditions. At 298 K, HOF-TDBB exhibits a high C3H6 uptake of 113.9 cm3 g−1 and an equimolar C3H6/C2H4 selectivity of 11.7, surpassing the performance of most reported adsorbents. After one separation operation, 3.2 mol kg−1 of C2H4 (purity > 99.95%) and 2.4 mol kg−1 of C3H6 (purity > 99.5%) can be obtained from the equimolar C3H6/C2H4 mixture. More importantly, the separation experiemnts under high temperatures and high humidity show that polymer-grade C2H4 (1.6 mol kg−1) and C3H6 (1.2 mol kg−1) can even be collected at 338 K and 100% relative humidity, which is rarely seen in C3H6/C2H4 separation materials.
