Experimental study on the open adsorption performance of CAU-10-H and its composite adsorbent

Abstract

On the basis of the method used by Reinsch and Solovyeva, the aluminum based MOF material CAU-10-H (CAU stand for Christian-Albrechts-University) was synthesized by multiplying the amount of aluminum sulfate octahydrate and isophthalic acid by 10 times. CAU-10-H (b) is obtained after washing. In order to improve the water vapor adsorption performance of pure CAU-10-H (b), lithium chloride (LiCl) solution was compounded with CAU-10-H (b) by impregnation method to obtain a composite adsorbent CAU-10-H (L) and its adsorption characteristics were studied. The results showed that the composite adsorbent showed good adsorption and desorption performance under test conditions. Among them, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of the composite adsorbent with 33.1% LiCl content is 0.5007 g/g after 30 cycles, which is about 1.675 times of the adsorption capacity of pure CAU-10-H (b) under the same conditions. This shows the potential of the composite adsorbent to be used in the air-water extraction system.
