Abstract:

Natural gas is an environmentally friendly energy source that can be used in various chemical raw materials. However, the presence of CO2 in natural gas has a significant impact on the heat value and transportation performance of natural gas. Therefore, effective CO2 removal from natural gas is critical. In this study, Mg-MOF-74 was selected as an adsorbent and its effect on CO2/CH4 adsorption and separation performance was investigated using a molecular dynamics simulation method. Based on the simulation results, at certain pressure and temperature settings, CO2 is more likely to bind to the metal sites of Mg-MOF-74 than CH4. Moreover, Mg-MOF-74 exhibits a stronger interaction force with CO2 gas, indicating a higher capacity for CO2 adsorption. To verify the accuracy of the simulation results, Mg-MOF-74 was prepared and its CO2/CH4 adsorption performance was tested.The experiment results is consistent with the simulation,that proved Mg-MOF-74 is more attractive to CO2.
