Technical information
A highly porous metal organic framework with a zeolite-like structure, built from zinc ions and 2-methylimidazole linkers. Known for its thermal and chemical stability.
MOFSorb® ZIF-8 is produced by twin-screw co-rotating mechanochemical extrusion. It is supplied as a crystalline powder (0.4–4 µm) or, after post-processing, as 1–2 mm granules. Current BET surface area is 600–800 m²/g, measured without dedicated purification, solvent exchange or post-processing. Phase identity and crystallinity of every batch are confirmed by XRD, and pore structure and surface area by BET analysis.
Applications
- Gas adsorption
- Gas separation
- CO₂ adsorption research
- Hydrogen-related adsorption research
- VOC / odour capture
- Composite adsorbent development
Storage and handling
- Store in a dry, cool place in a tightly closed container.
- Avoid inhaling the powder; wear gloves and a dust mask.
