Abstract

Abstract: With the increasing demand for synthetic rubber, the purification of 1,3-butadiene (C₄H₆) is of great industrial significance. Herein, the successful removal of n-butene (n-C₄H₈) and iso-butene (iso-C₄H₈) from 1,3-butadiene (C₄H₆) was realized by synthesizing a novel TaOF₅^2- anion-pillared ultramicroporous material TaOFFIVE-3-Ni (also referred to as ZU-96, TaOFFIVE=TaOF₅^2-, 3=pyrazine). Single-component adsorption isotherms show that TaOFFIVE-3-Ni can achieve the exclusion of n-C₄H₈ and iso-C₄H₈ in the low pressure region (0-30 kPa), and uptake C₄H₆ with a high capacity of 92.78 cm³·cm^-3 (298 K and 100 kPa). The uptake ratio of C₄H₆/iso-C₄H₈ on TaOFFIVE-3-Ni was 20.83 (298 K and 100 kPa), which was the highest among the state-of-the-art adsorbents reported so far. With the rotation of anion and pyrazine ring, the pore size changes continuously, which makes smaller-size C₄H₆ enter the channel while larger-size n-C₄H₈ and iso-C₄H₈ are completely blocked. The excellent breakthrough performance of TaOFFIVE-3-Ni shows great potential in industrial separation of C₄ olefins. The specific adsorption binding sites within ZU-96 was further revealed through the modeling calculation.
