Abstract
The present invention relates to sorbants such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) or porous polymer networks (PPNs) for separations of gases or liquids, gas storage, cooling, and heating applications, including, but not limited to, adsorption chillers.
Claims27
An adsorbent combination comprising a metal-organic-framework or a covalent organic framework and a working fluid.
A method of separating a mixture of gases and/or liquids including a working fluid comprising contacting a mixture of gases and/or liquids including a working fluid with a metal organic framework whereby the concentration of the working fluid in the mixture of gases and/or liquids is reduced via adsorption of the working fluid to the metal organic framework.
A method of storing a working fluid comprising contacting a metal organic framework with a working fluid whereby said working fluid is adsorbed by said metal organic frame work forming an adsorbent working composition.
A metal organic framework.
