Abstract: |
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ordered and very large surface area compounds of metal ions and organic molecules. These advanced materials can be compared with sponges with unique abilities – being able to take-up, hold and release molecules from their pores. The property of having large porous network can be exploited for separating toxic components.
|
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
Purification is highly required. Special clean air (free from CO2). Hydrocarbon separation. These MOFs can be used for separating impurities which otherwise is not possible to separate easily. |
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
Major stake holder is Industry and Domestic use. |
How will the solution works |
The MOF material will be fabricated using facile methods and will be tailor made (design, composition, morphology and structure) to be use as adsorbents. these will uptake the undesired components and will be reused many times. |
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
No competitors!
In Pakistan, no commercial entity is currently doing this. |
