Technical information
A metal organic framework built from copper ions and trimesic acid (BTC) linkers; its open metal sites give it strong gas adsorption performance.
MOFSorb® HKUST-1 is produced mechanochemically. It is supplied as a crystalline powder (0.4–4 µm) or as 1–2 mm granules; activation and granulation are available as post-processing. Current BET surface area is above 500 m²/g. Phase identity and crystallinity of every batch are confirmed by XRD, and pore structure and surface area by BET analysis.
Applications
- CO₂ adsorption
- Gas separation
- VOC adsorption
- Open-metal-site adsorption
- Controlled-humidity sorption
- Composite adsorbents
Storage and handling
- Moisture sensitive; store dry in a tightly closed container.
- Avoid inhaling the powder; wear gloves and a dust mask.
