Carbon dioxide capture by metal-organic frameworks

Awarded: NOK 4.0 mill.

Carbon dioxide capture from natural gas or flue gas is of great current interest. The ability to selectively remove it will significantly contribute to a reduction in carbon dioxide emission because of the relatively high concentrations with which it is p resent in these sources. Metal-organic frameworks, also known as coordination polymers, have eminently promising properties in many areas of application which range from gas storage systems, sensors, magnetic materials, ion exchange to catalysis. When it comes to gas storage, a lot of activity has centered on MOFs as hydrogen storage material, while reports using the materials as carbon dioxide storage medium or for selective separation have increased in number somewhat more recently. However, individual MOFs have been studied quite thoroughly, and they have shown exceptional features. The objectives of this project are to prepare and fully characterize novel micro- to nanoporous metal-organic framework compounds with favorable properties in respect to carbon dioxide capture, evaluation of their performance in realistic conditions using gas mixtures resembling those found in natural gas and flue gas, and preparation of formulations of promising materials.
