Abstract
A MOF production system and method of making are detailed for continuous and controlled synthesis of MOFs and MOF composites. The system can provide optimized yields of MOFs and MOF composites greater than or equal to 95%.
Claims17
A method for making Metal Organic Framework (MOF) materials including MOF composites, the method comprising the step of:
- injecting aerosolized MOF precursors into a fluidized bed reactor at a preselected temperature.
A method of making a Metal Organic Framework (MOF) or a MOF composite, comprising the steps of:
- introducing a plume of aerosolized liquid droplets of a MOF precursor solution of a selected size in a carrier gas into a fluidized bed reaction chamber;
- and
- circulating the aerosolized liquid droplets in the fluid volume at a temperature above ambient to release solvents therefrom and form solid particles of the MOF or MOF composite of a selected size.
A system for forming a Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials including MOF composites, the system comprising:
- a MOF production reactor defining a fluidized bed reaction chamber configured to receive a plume of aerosolized liquid MOF precursor droplets in a carrier gas therein for a time sufficient to form solid particles of the MOF or MOF composite of a selected size therein.
A MOF composite material comprising a core having at least one layer containing a MOF material covering said core.
