A preliminary study on removal of metal ions from laboratory used solution and adsorption of CO2 by 1,4-Benzene di carboxylic acid MOF’S

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a porous, crystalline materials, extremely high surface area (typically ranging from 1000 to 10,000 m 2 /g), tunable pore size, and flexible functionality, MOFs have gained extensive explorations as a highly versatile platform for the development of novel materials with effective adsorption of metals from used up solutions (like volumetric solution) from chemical laboratory at educational institutions level, high carbon dioxide adsorption capacity and selectivity is becoming increasingly appealing for use in clean energy and pollution control applications.

The significance of having a sorbent with high adsorption capacity at a low cost is mostly attributed to the entire carbon capture and storage strategy. With this above scope we synthesized MOF using an affordable and commercially available acid based linker, for the metal adsorption and CO₂ gas adsorption.
