20090178558 | Gas adsorption and gas mixture separatoins using mixed-ligand MOF material - A method of separating a mixture of carbon dioxiode and hydrocarbon gas using a mixed-ligand, metal-organic framework (MOF) material having metal ions coordinated to carboxylate ligands and pyridyl ligands. | 07-16-2009 |
20090220400 | Gas adsorption and gas mixture separations using carborane-based MOF material - A method of separating a mixture of carbon dioxide and a hydrocarbon gas using a metal-organic framework (MOF) material having a three-dimensional carborane ligand structure. | 09-03-2009 |
20100069234 | GAS ADSORPTION ON METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS - The present invention involves the use of certain metal organic frameworks that have been treated with water or another metal titrant in the storage of carbon dioxide. The capacity of these frameworks is significantly increased through this treatment. | 03-18-2010 |
20120073438 | Metal-organic frameworks for Xe/Kr separation - Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are provided and are selectively adsorbent to xenon (Xe) over another noble gas such as krypton (Kr) and/or argon (Ar) as a result of having framework voids (pores) sized to this end. MOF materials having pores that are capable of accommodating a Xe atom but have a small enough pore size to receive no more than one Xe atom are desired to preferentially adsorb Xe over Kr in a multi-component (Xe—Kr mixture) adsorption method. The MOF material has 20% or more, preferably 40% or more, of the total pore volume in a pore size range of 0.45-0.75 nm which can selectively adsorb Xe over Kr in a multi-component Xe—Kr mixture over a pressure range of 0.01 to 1.0 MPa. | 03-29-2012 |
20130139686 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AND/OR SCREENING POTENTIAL METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS - A system and method for systematically generating potential metal-organic framework (MOFs) structures given an input library of building blocks is provided herein. One or more material properties of the potential MOFs are evaluated using computational simulations. A range of material properties (surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution, powder x-ray diffraction pattern, methane adsorption capability, and the like) can be estimated, and in doing so, illuminate unidentified structure-property relationships that may only have been recognized by taking a global view of MOF structures. In addition to identifying structure-property relationships, this systematic approach to identify the MOFs of interest is used to identify one or more MOFs that may be useful for high pressure methane storage. | 06-06-2013 |
