Background
With the shortage of petroleum resources and the aggravation of environmental problems, the advantages of biofuels are increasingly highlighted. The biobutanol produced by ABE (acetone-butanol-ethanol) fermentation method is a potential biofuel due to high energy density and octane number, high calorific value and high mixing property. However, in the production of butanol by ABE fermentation, a low-concentration mixed aqueous solution containing ethanol, acetone and butanol is obtained, which causes difficulty in the separation of biobutanol. The adsorption separation method is suitable for a multi-component system which is difficult to separate by the traditional separation technology because of low energy consumption and high selectivity of the process.
Zeolite imidazolate framework materials (ZIFs) have the advantages of large pore volume and high specific surface area, and the pore channel configuration and the pore surface property of the ZIFs can be regulated and controlled by changing the groups of imidazole ligands, so that the selectivity of multi-component substances can be effectively improved.
The synthesis of ZIF-302 materials with zeolite CHA topology (Nguyen N T, Furukawa H, G a ndra F, et al. Selective capture of carbon dioxide units and intermediates by hydrolytic catalyst-type zeolite structures [ J.sub.J. ], has been carried out by researchers using divalent metal Zn salts, 2-methylimidazole (2-mIm) and 5(6) -methylbenzimidazole (mbIm)]Angewandte Chemie, 2014, 126(40): 10821-10824) and investigated its hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity and its ability to CO2/N2The adsorption separation performance of (1). The synthesis method of ZIF-302 in the study is as follows: according to the divalent metal Zn salt: 2-methylimidazole (2-mIm): (5) (6) -Methylbenzimidazole (mbIm) = 1.0: 0.86: 1.0 on a molar basis, the above materials were sequentially added to a mixed solvent of N, N-dimethylformamide and water (19: 1 by volume) at room temperature, and the mixture was reacted at 120 ℃ to obtain a ZIF-302 material having a BET of 240 m measured by Ar2(ii) in terms of/g. However, there is no report in the literature that CHA- [ Zn (2-mIm) can be changed by adjusting the molar ratio of 2-methylimidazole (2-mIm) to 5(6) -methylbenzimidazole (mbIm) ligandsx(mbIm)2-x]BE for materialT and pore structure. We therefore wish to modify CHA- [ Zn (2-mIm) by adjusting the molar ratio of the two imidazole ligands mentioned abovex(mbIm)2-x]The BET and cage structure of the material expand the application of the material in the aspect of adsorption separation of low-concentration butanol and acetone mixed aqueous solution.

FIG. 6(b) shows CHA- [ Zn (2-mIm)x(mbIm)2-x](x =0.83 ± 0.03) to two-component butanol/acetone (10 g L)-1/10 g L-1) The column-penetrating adsorption curve of (a) shows: the breakthrough time increased as the butanol concentration decreased and the adsorbed amount decreased to 117.8 mg g-1(ii) a While the acetone adsorption amount increased to 50.9 mg g-1. This is because, after reducing the concentration of butanol, the competitive adsorption between the two is reduced, and the final butanol/acetone selectivity is 2.5.
