专利说明:
The present invention relates to the use as desiccant of an organic xerogel,preferably a high porosity resorcinol Jformaldehyde xerogel (xerogel RF)and high oxygen content. STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE 10 Organic gels are nanoporous materials obtained by the polymerization of hydroxylated benzenes and aldehydes in the presence of a solvent (see Pekala, R. Organic aerogels from the polycondensation of resorcinol with formaldehyde. JoumaJ ofMaterials Science 1989, 24, 3221-3227). 15 Desiccant materials are hygroscopic solids that induce or maintain a dry state of the surrounding environment. In order to be considered as a good porous desiccant material, it not only has to be a hydrophilic material but it also needs to have a high water adsorption capacity (see Ng, E. 20 P .; Mintova, S. Nanoporous materials with enhanced hydrophilicity and high water surprise capacity. Microporous and Mesoporous MateriaJs 2008, 114, 1-26). The hydrophilic capacity refers to its affinity for water, while its adsorption capacity depends mainly on the porosity. For example, some carbon-based materials considered hydrophilic show a High water adsorption capacity due to its surface chemistry rich in oxygenated groups, but its adsorption rate is low because its porosity is not adequate, so they cannot be considered as desiccants. Generally speaking, there are two types of desiccant materials: (i) substances 30 whose behavior as a desiccant is due to a chemical hydration reaction, such as P4 0 10, MgS04; and (ii) substances whose desiccant behavior is based on surface interactions, such as adsorption processes, such as molecular sieves, silica gels, clays and starches (see for example, Iler, R. The chemistry of silica; solubility, polymerization, colloid and surface chemistry, and 35 biochemistry. John Wiley & Sons, New York: 1979; and Breck, D.W. Zeolite molecular sieves: Structure. Chemistry and Use, WiJey, New York 1974, 636). Desiccants have been used over the past decades in a wide range ofapplications, with the aim of controlling humidity in the air when necessarya moisture-free environment, to control the level of water in gas streams5 industrial, in air conditioning systems, to store and protect thegoods in transport containers against moisture damage (Mathiowitz, AND.; Jacob, J.S .; Jong, Y.S .; Hekal, T.M .; Spano, W .; Guemonprez, R; Klibanov, A.M .; Langer, R. Novel desiccants based on designed polymeric blends. Journal of applied polymer science 2001, 80, 317-327). 10 A general purpose desiccant is silica gel. Its good moisture adsorption capacity is due to its porous properties and the presence of hydroxyl groups on the surface that gives these materials hydrophilic nature. Water molecules are attracted by this oxygen-rich surface chemistry and 15 stored in the pores of the material. Silica gel cannot be used to remove moisture in acidic media due to its sensitive structure. 20 Therefore, it would be desirable to have a desiccant that allows moisture to be removed quickly and, therefore, has a high moisture absorption rate in addition to a high moisture absorption capacity; that is resistant to acids that may be present in the fluids to be treated; and that are structurally modifiable to eliminate other components apart from 25 humidity.

Synthesis of organic xerogels 5 The organic xerogels used in this study were synthesized by the polymerization of resorcinol (R) and formaldehyde (F), using deionized water as the solvent and NaOH as the reaction catalyst. First, resorcinol (Indspec, 99.6%) was dissolved in deionized water using an unsealed glass cup and magnetic stirring until completely dissolved. Then, a solution was added 10 of formaldehyde until a homogeneous solution is obtained. A solution of NaOH (0.1 M, Titripac, Merck) was added dropwise to adjust the desired pH. The proportion of each reagent is selected such that two different porosities are obtained (Table 1). The precursor solutions were placed in a microwave oven at 85 ° C for approximately 3 hours. During this time the 15 polymerization and curing of the xerogels. Subsequently, the polymers were dried by heating in a microwave oven until a mass loss of more than 50% was recorded, which corresponds to the total removal of the solvent, the total synthesis time being less than 5 h. As a result, two were obtained. different organic gels (Table 2). Finally the xerogeles underwent a post 20 air treatment at a temperature of 100 oC for one hour. Sample characterization Before any characterization, the xerogels were degassed (Micromeritics VacPrep 0.61) at 0.1 mbar and 120 oC overnight, in order to eliminate the 25 moisture and other adsorbed gases. Porous properties The porosity of the studied samples was characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and mercury porosimetry. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms were measured at -196 oC in a Tristar 3020 (Micromeritics). The SET surface was determined from the adsorption branch of N2 and, in all cases the number of points used to apply the SET equation was greater than 5. The volume of micropores (Vmicro) was estimated by the Dubinin method -Raduskevich. This method only includes micropore surfaces. Therefore, both techniques are complementary. The adsorption isotherms of N2 desorption were only used to obtain information about microporosity (BET surface, Vmicro). Parameters such as porosity (%), pore size distribution (PSD), bulk density and mesopore and macropore volumes (Vmeso, Vmacro), were determined by mercury porosimetry, 5 with AutoPore IV 9500 (Micromeritics) , which is capable of measuring from atmospheric pressure to 228 MPa. In the case of the characterization of mesopores, the lower limit of this equipment is 5.5 nm. Similarly, in this study, Vmacro refers to porosity that ranges from 50 to 10,000 nm. The surface tension and contact angle that were taken for mercury were 10 485 mN m · 'and 1300 respectively, and the stem filling volume was between 45-58% in all the analyzes performed. Initially, at the low pressure stage, the samples were evacuated at 6.7 Pa and the equilibrium time used was 10 seconds. Subsequently, the pressure was gradually increased to the maximum value, mercury intrusion was evaluated. Elemental analysis The determination of C, H and N was carried out on a LECO CHNS-932 analyzer. The oxygen content was determined using the LECO VTF-900 analyzer 20 Water vapor adsorption experiments The procedure to measure the water vapor adsorption capacity and kinetics consisted of placing 0.6 to 0.8 g of sample inside an airtight container at 25 oC and 100% humidity relative air and record mass changes over time to constant values. The RF xerogel is obtained in a process that comprises two stages. The first consists in the microwave polymerization of a mixture of resorcinol, formaldehyde, water and a catalyst. The obtaining of the organic xerogel in microwave is described in ES 2354782 "Procedure for obtaining organic xerogels of 30 controlled porosity". However, the precursor mixture that is subjected to this treatment has particular characteristics (pH greater than 5.5, solvent / reagent molar ratio between 5 and 9 and resorcinol / formaldehyde molar ratio less than 0.7). Otherwise, the resulting xerogels do not have adequate porosity (greater than 60% and with average pore sizes between 2 and 50 nm, that is, 35 mesopores) that gives them great capacity for adsorption of ambient humidity. These characteristics of the precursor solution have been optimized and are not, therefore, evident a priori. For example, if the treatment is carried out outside the pH, resorcinol / formaldehyde and / or dilution ranges, the resulting porosity would not be adequate and the moisture adsorption capacity would decrease markedly. 5 For example, in Figure 1 the desiccant capacities of the xerogels named A and B are presented, as well as that of the silica gel taken as a reference. These desiccant capacities are expressed as the variation of the millimoles of water adsorbed per gram of material over time; at a temperature of 25 oC and under 100% relative humidity conditions. In the aforementioned Figure 10 it can be seen that xerogel B, despite having a porosity greater than xerogel A, its water vapor adsorption capacity is slightly higher than 10 milli moles per gram (18% by weight), compared to at almost 30 millimoles per gram (54% by weight) of xerogel A; that is, the latter has practically triple the adsorption capacity. It is seen, therefore, that if the xerogel is synthesized outside the 15 conditions described above its desiccant capacity is markedly lower. The second stage of the process of obtaining consists in a post-treatment in air at a temperature between 100 and 300 oC; although preferably 100 oC. This treatment aims to stabilize the xerogel. Further, 20 also contributes to generating oxygenated surface groups that increase water adsorption capacity. The material has a desiccant capacity (adsorption of humidity of the environment) superior to that of silica gel (material taken as commercial desiccant of 25 reference). For example, in Figure 1 it can be seen how the organic xerogel called A has an adsorption capacity close to 30 milliols per gram (54% by weight), while the adsorption capacity of silica gel under the same conditions is of only 14 millimoles per gram (25% by weight). That is, the desiccant capacity of the organic xerogel doubles that of the reference material. 30 The average speed at which this adsorption occurs can represent, depending on the humidity and temperature conditions, 2 times that of silica gel. Thus, for example, in Figure 1 it can be seen how the time required to adsorb 10 millimoles of water is 75 hours for xerogel A, while the It takes 140 hours for silica gel to absorb the same amount of water. That is, xerogel A is almost 2 times faster than silica gel. It is an organic material resistant to acid attack, which differentiates it from most desiccant materials that are of inorganic nature, for example silica gel. 5 The material has a porosity greater than 60% while the porosity of the silica gel, for example, is around 30%. These data are shown in Table 2. This difference in total porosity results in a material with greater desiccant capacity in the case of type A xerogel, as shown in the example in Figure 10 1. This porosity is mainly composed of pores whose sizes are between 2 nm and 50 nm, also called mesopores. For example, in Table 2 it is shown as in the case of xerogel A 58% of the total porosity are mesopores. A lower percentage of mesopores, although the total porosity is higher, results in a material with a desiccant capacity markedly lower than 15 of the material described in this patent. Case, for example of xerogel B. This is illustrated in the example presented in Figure 1. Microporosity, even though it is a factor with some influence, is not a relevant factor for a good desiccant, since type A gel and silica gel have 20 similar micropore volume values and specific superture: 0.1 cm3g and 300 m2¡g for both materials.

It also has a significant amount of oxygenated surface groups, with an oxygen content always exceeding 25 5% by weight. This characteristic favors the adsorption of water molecules. The material also has a small hydrogen content, in amounts between 4 and 5%. It is important to mention that no type of inorganic remains have been detected, so the level of impurities of this material is less than 0.1% by weight. Table 2 shows the chemical characteristics of the xerogel 10 called A. The chemical characteristics of the xerogel called B are similar; However, its different porous texture makes this material not a good desiccant. Therefore, for the material to have good characteristics as a desiccant, the appropriate combination of chemical and porous properties is necessary. 15 The material has a good consistency and can be obtained in granular form or even in the form of shaped monoliths. It can also be ground and presented as a fine powder, and can thus be incorporated into inks, paints or other media that allow its application to surfaces or even be used in 20 additive manufacturing.
