Production
MOFapps have developed expertise in a wide range of synthesis routes and can produce batches from 100g to multiple tons / batch of a variety of materials.
Depending on the synthesis MOF materials can have different properties. MOFapps will help you to choose the right synthesis route.
Our expertise in spraydried MOFs is unmatched, our experience in Al based MOFs and their applications for cooling, water harvesting and CO2 adsorption is unrivalled.
Spray drying
MOF components can be combined in a mist form and dried in appropriate thermal conditions. MOFapps hold exclusive licenses for this synthesis route.
Advantage: Process well-known from other industries (dairy, pharma) controllable and easy scale up.
Spray drying
Water based routes
This “green” synthesis route does not use solvents and is therefore more suitable for scale up and favorable to environment and working conditions. Water based synthesis can be used as a batch process or in flow reactors as a continous process. MOFapps hold licences to produce some of the most powerful MOFs with this “green” technology.
Water based routes
Shaping
In addition to the synthesis routes, shaping of the material is important. In many applications powder material might not be suitable to provide mechanical robustness or to optimize mass or heat transfer. Together with our partners we have developed a number of shaping routes for different appliccations.
Disks
Compression to form disks which can be combined into larger assemblies.
Pellets
Pellets can be used in gas adsorption and filtering applications.
Spheres
Spheres are suitable for water or alcohol adsorption in cooling or heating systems.
Powder
Powder can be applied to fabrics and membranes or included into foam materials.
