The present application provides a composite material that comprises a solid and solid-supported non-polymeric switchable moiety, wherein the switchable moiety comprises a functional group that is switchable between a first form and a second form, said first form being neutral and hydrophobic, and said second form being ionized and hydrophilic. The composite material converts to, or is maintained in, said second form when the switchable moiety is exposed to CO2 at amounts sufficient to maintain the ionized form. The composite material converts to, or is maintained in, said first form when CO2 is removed or reduced to an amount insufficient to maintain the ionized form. CO2 is removed or reduced by exposing the composite material to heat and/or a flushing inert gas such as N2, Ar, or air. Envisioned uses of these composite materials includes removing water from non-aqueous solvents, removing water vapor from gaseous mixtures, and cleaning industrial reaction vessels and/or pipelines.
本申请提供了一种复合材料,它包括固体和固体支撑的非聚合可切换分子,其中可切换分子包括可在第一种形式和第二种形式之间切换的官能团,所述第一种形式为中性和疏
水性,所述第二种形式为离子化和亲
水性。当可切换分子暴露在足以维持离子化形式的
二氧化碳中时,复合材料会转化为所述第二种形式,或保持第二种形式。当
二氧化碳被移除或减少到不足以维持离子化形态时,复合材料会转化为或保持为所述第一种形态。将复合材料置于热和/或惰性气体(如 N2、Ar 或空气)中冲洗,可去除或减少
二氧化碳。这些复合材料的预期用途包括从非
水性溶剂中去除
水分、从气态混合物中去除
水蒸气以及清洁工业反应容器和/或管道。
