The Coupling of COVID-19 Respiratory Droplet Adsorption and Photocatalysis through Metal Organic Frameworks

Ozdemir R., Ornstein J., Boehme A., Nouar F., Serre C., Ackerman D., Herrera V., Santarpia J., framergy, Inc, US

As the world recovers from the lockdown imposed by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) pandemic, returning to shared indoor spaces is still considered risky. It is now clear that transmission of [...]

A Novel, Nanostructured, Metal-Organic Frameworks-Based Pretreatment Technology for the Remediation of PFAS in Industrial Wastewater

Ozdemir O.K., Ornstein J.M., framergy, Inc, US

Per-and polyflouralkyl substances, otherwise known as PFAS, are a class of chemicals that include perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). This class of chemcials has a large variety of uses globally, but their utilization [...]

Fluorescent post-synthetic modified MOFs for methane sensing

Cárdenas J.C., Castillo L.A., Molano W., Sierra C.A., Reiber A., Universidad de los Andes, CO

Since the last decade, Colombia has been experienced a boom in coal mining due to the large amount of environmental licenses granted by the government. The growth of this activity triggered a concern in finding [...]

Dyes Adsorption on Cu3(BTC)2 Metal-Organic Framework

Loera-Serna S., Garcia-Ortiz J., Garcia-Ortiz J., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

The present work suggests an alternative to the solution of environmental problems caused by the textile industry effluents, which contain natural dyes and non-biodegradable synthetic mostly. This solution is the use of porous metal-organic frameworks [...]

The Potential of Silicon-Based Ligands in Metal-Organic Frameworks

Jumabekov A., Imperial College, UK

The synthesis and characterisation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on metal centres linked by silicon-containing ligands and the investigation for their ability to take up small magnetically active molecules in order to look at the [...]
