Evaluation of Metal-Organic Frameworks for the Removal of Toxic Industrial Chemicals

Abstract

Current technology-based efforts are focusing on a nanotechnology approach to sorbent development for air purification applications. Metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, are one novel class of materials that allow for specific functionalities to be designed directly into a porous framework. This report summarizes the evaluation of four MOFs using nitrogen isotherm data, temperature stability analyses, water and chloroethane adsorption equilibria, and ammonia, cyanogen chloride (CK), and sulfur dioxide breakthrough data.
