Abstract: The HKUST-1 was obtained using trimesic acid self-assembly with Cu2+ and characterized by N2 adsorption,X-ray powder diffraction,TGA and SEM. Adsorption values of CH4 and N2 were measured by gas adsorption instrument. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation was used to calculate the adsorption heat of CH4. The separation coefficient of CH4/N2(SCH4/N2)was calculated by Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory(IAST). The results showed that HKUST-1 has a good adsorption effect on CH4. At conditions of 0 ℃,101.325 kPa and 25 ℃,101.325 kPa,the adsorption values of CH4 are 25.1 cm3/g and 15.2 cm3/g,the adsorption values of N2 are 8.0 cm3/g and 3.9 cm3/g,respectively. The selectivity factor for CH4 /N2 is 6.8,and the isosteric heat of adsorption of CH4 is about 20 kJ/mol. Compared with zeolite-like adsorbents,the isosteric heat was smaller,which meant a facile regeneration of adsorbents.

Key words: HKUST-1, separation of CH4/N2, adsorption isotherm, adsorption heat, separation coefficient
