Research Progress of Hydrogen Sulfide Adsorption Based on MOFs

Abstract Adsorption method is one of the main technologies for hydrogen sulfide treatment. Developing an adsorbent with good selectivity, large adsorption capacity, stability and good regeneration is the key to the removal of hydrogen sulfide by adsorption method. Compared with the traditional adsorbents, Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have a large specific surface area, a variety of framework structures, adjustable pore sizes and functionality, showing significant advantages in the adsorption of hydrogen sulfide. In this paper, the research progress of hydrogen sulfide adsorption based on MOFs in recent years was summarized. The influences of pore structure and unsaturated metal sites on the hydrogen sulfide adsorption performance of MOFs were discussed, and the strategies of functionalized groups and preparation of composites were proposed to improve the hydrogen sulfide adsorption performance of MOFs. Finally, the problems and challenges in the future industrial application of MOFs as low concentration hydrogen sulfide adsorbents were pointed out.
