The low-temperature distillation, as a traditional technique for hydrogen isotope separation, is limited as it is a high energy-and cost-intensive process. Instead of utilizing such a conventional separation route, we use ordered microporous frameworks based on a physical adsorption mechanism to solve the challenge of hydrogen isotope separation. Herein we analyze M-MOF-74(M=Co, Ni, Mg, Zn), featuring a hexagonal channel about 11 ? and high density of open metal sites, for their ability to separate and purify deuterium from the hydrogen isotope mixture by dynamic column breakthrough experiments. Our results show that the combination of the strength of binding sites, density of coordinatively unsaturated metal sites and hydrogen isotope adsorption capacity of materials renders Co-MOF-74 as an optimal adsorbent for the capture of deuterium from hydrogen isotope mixtures in a simulated industrial process.展开更多

However, designing porous materials with efficient separation capacity is still a challenging task. In this work, we synthesized a cage-based porous materiel(FJI-H32) with a large surface area. After activation, FJI-H32 exhibits the feature of high C2H2 storage capacity(113 cm3/g) and promising C2H2/CO_(2) separation ability at 298 K and under 100 kPa. More importantly, the CO_(2) separation was verified by actual breakthrough experiments.展开更多
