Integrated material and process evaluation of metal–organic frameworks database for energy-efficient SF6/N2 separation

Non-CO2 greenhouse gas separation using advanced porous materials

“…325,326 With the combination of GCMC simulations and ideal adsorption process simulations, Cha et al performed a multi-scale screening to identify high-performing MOFs for energy-efficient separation of the SF 6 and N 2 mixture. 327 Combined with the experimental results, it was found that 78 MOFs (out of 86) were able to achieve a 90% target purity level of SF 6 , with qualitative agreement between the experimental isotherms and the simulated ones. Ren et al presented a high-throughput computational screening of the SF 6 /N 2 separation performance over 10140 MOFs (Fig.…”

Metal–organic cages for gas adsorption and separation

“…Despite its extremely low concentration in the atmosphere, SF 6 has a 22 800 times greater greenhouse effect compared to carbon dioxide. 42–44 As a material suitable for gas adsorption, MOCs have demonstrated their excellence as candidates for encapsulating SF 6 gas. In 2011, Nitschke and co-workers reported a water soluble tetrahedron MOC-10 through coordination-driven self-assembly (Fig.…”
