Abstract
The facile synthesis MOFs monolith adsorbent is highly imperative for the economically friendly development of water adsorption. Herein, metal-organic framework material MIL-160 monolith was synthesized by the dry-gel conversion method at low temperature. The effects of curing conditions, dry-gel composition and crystallization temperature on crystal structure, porosity, microstructure and water vapor adsorption/desorption properties were studied. XRD results showed that the MIL-160 powder and monolith adsorbent can be synthesized under the condition that the molar ratio of dry-gel was Al3+: FDCA: NaOH = 1:1:2 at 60 °C (FDCA is the abbreviation of 2,5-Furandicarboxylicacid). The water vapor saturation adsorption capacity and water vapor desorption activation energy of the powder and monolith adsorbent were 0.310, 0.231 g/g at 20 % RH and 72.3, 62.4 kJ/mol, respectively. The convenient dry-gel conversion synthesis of MIL-160 monolith may provide a guidance for the manufacture of high-performance water harvest device.
