【講座內(nèi)容簡介】

Separating gaseous mixtures that consists of very similar particles is one of the most changeling issues in modern separation science and technology. Especially H2/D2 separation is a difficult task since the isotopes have identical size, shape and thermodynamic properties. Conventionally, H/D separation can be realized through cryogenic distillation or Girdler-sulfide process, however, the selectivity is less than 2.5 and these processes are intensive energy consuming, and therefore expensive. In nanoporous materials hydrogen isotopes can be separated by either confinement in small pores i.e. “Quantum Sieving” or by strong adsorption sites i.e. “Chemical Affinity Quantum Sieving”. Nanoporous materials can be tailored to achieve an optimum separation factor. In this talk for each sieving mechanism, an example is explicitly shown for customizing pore structures and adsorption sites. In porous organic cage molecules, the pore aperture can be adjusted by fine-tuning for optimum kinetic quantum sieving. Furthermore, crystal engineering allows to synthesize cocrystals of different organic cages increasing the selectivity and additionally improving the gas uptake. In zeolites, strong adsorption sites for hydrogen isotopes can be incorporated by ion exchange.  Here, zeolite Y with Ag(I) sites shows an improved separation selectivity combined with high gas uptake.
