Experimental measurements and molecular simulations were conducted for two zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, ZIF-8 ZIF-76. The transferability of the force field was tested by comparing simulation results gas adsorption with experimental data available in literature other ZIF materials (ZIF-69). Owing to good agreement observed between data, can be used identify preferential sites, which are located close organic linkers. Topological mapping potential-energy surfaces makes it possible relate...
The objective of this work was to study the adsorption and separation most important families hydrocarbon compounds on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), in comparison with zeolites. For purpose, we have selected four probe molecules, each them representing one these families, i.e., o- p-xylene as aromatics, 1-octene an alkene, n-octane alkane. molecules studied by binary breakthrough experiments. To represent large diversity MOF structures, experiments were carried out (i) two MOFs...
The separation of paraffin isomers is a very important topic in the petrochemical industry. Zeolite 5A industrially used to sieve alkane isomers, but its pore size does not allow monobranched and dibranched alkanes by kinetic mechanism. In this publication, we compare three ZIF materials C6-paraffin isomers: ZIF-8, ZIF-76, new material called IM-22. performance evaluated breakthrough curve binary mixtures n-hexane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane. We show that ZIF-8 attractive...
Current European regulations limit the sulfur content of gasoline to 10 ppmw. Such deep desulfurization levels can be achieved by catalytic hydrodesulfurization processes, but they are accompanied excessive H2 consumption for unwanted side reactions, in particular, hydrogenation olefins. Selective adsorption constitutes an attractive alternative desulfurization. The main challenge is find adsorbents able remove compounds with very high selectivity from a complex mixture paraffins,...
The "ZIF-8–water" system displays reproducible shock-absorber behaviour over several cycles with a stored energy of 13.3 J g−1 and an yield close to 85%. combination the main features evidenced for ZIF-8, i.e. quite low intrusion pressure high energy, opens field new applications.
The separation of xylene isomers is one the most difficult separations in petrochemistry. Adsorbents have to preferentially adsorb para or meta isomers, but there are only a few zeolites which fulfill criteria selectivity and adsorption capacity. In this study, we evaluate two metal–organic frameworks (MOF) with coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (cus), i.e., CPO-27-Ni HKUST-1, p-xylene, m-xylene, o-xylene gas phase. results compared those zeolite NaY. HKUST-1 both ortho-selective...

Understanding the adsorption of water in metal–organic frameworks (MOF), and particularly soft porous crystals, is a crucial prerequisite before considering MOFs for industrial applications.
