Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O), as the third largest greenhouse gas in the world, also has great applications in industry, so the purification of N2O from N2 in industrial tail gas is a crucial process for achieving environmental protection and giving full play to its economic value. Based on the polarity difference of N2O and N2, N2O adsorption was researched on DMOF series materials with different polarities and methyl numbers of the ligand. N2O adsorption at 0.1 bar is enhanced, attributed to an increase of the methyl group densities at the benzenedicarboxylate linker. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the key role of methyl groups within the pore surface in the preferential N2O affinity. Methyl groups preferentially bind to N2O and thus enhanced low (partial) pressure N2O adsorption and N2O/N2 separation. The result shows that DMOF-TM has the highest N2O adsorption capacity (19.6 cm3/g) and N2O/N2 selectivity (23.2) at 0.1 bar. Breakthrough experiments show that, with an increase of the methyl number, the coadsorption time and retention time also increase, and DMOF-TM has the best N2O/N2 separation performance.
