Shaping metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) powders into formed bodies plays a crucial role in opening up the excellent properties of MOFs to a broad range of applications. Gallate-based MOFs, termed as M-gallate (M = Co, Mg, Ni), have shown excellent performance for adsorption separation of C₂ hydrocarbons. However, the industrial applications of MOF powders will inevitably confront problems of high pressure drop, pipe blockage, and dust pollution. Herein, we use hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) as a binder to produce gallate-based MOFs pellets. The crystal structure of the well-shaped materials after molding remained intact, and the surface area of the materials hardly decreases after shaping. Adsorption isotherms of C₂ hydrocarbons including ethylene, ethane and acetylene on the activated powders and pellets of M-gallate were recorded and compared with the outperformers. The shaped pellets were also examined by breakthrough experiments on the fixed-bed separation of C₂H₂/C₂H₄ (1:99, v/v) and C₂H₄/C₂H₆ (50:50, v/v) gas mixtures. These results proved that M-gallate pellets was promising candidates for the practical industrial realization of C₂ hydrocarbons separation.

将金属有机骨架（MOF）粉末成型为成型体在将MOF的优异性能向广泛的应用中发挥关键作用。基于没食子酸酯的MOF（称为M-没食子酸酯（M = Co，Mg，Ni））表现出出色的吸附分离C ₂烃的性能。然而，MOF粉末的工业应用将不可避免地面临高压降，管道堵塞和粉尘污染的问题。在本文中，我们使用羟丙基纤维素（HPC）作为粘合剂来生产基于没食子酸酯的MOF颗粒。成型后的良好形状的材料的晶体结构保持完整，并且成型后材料的表面积几乎不减小。C _2的吸附等温线记录了活化粉末和M-gallate颗粒上的乙烯，乙烷和乙炔等碳氢化合物，并将其与优异的产品进行了比较。还通过突破性实验对C ₂ H ₂ / C ₂ H ₄（1:99，v / v）和C ₂ H ₄ / C ₂ H ₆（50:50，v / v）混合气体。这些结果证明，M-没食子酸酯粒料是用于C ₂烃分离的实际工业实现的有前途的候选者。
