Enhanced adsorptive desulfurization with flexible metal-organic frameworks in the presence of diethyl ether and water

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Jul 5;52(56):8667-70. doi: 10.1039/c6cc03976f.

Abstract

Several metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were employed in adsorptive desulfurization in the presence of oxygen-containing compounds (OCCs). Unlike conventional MOFs and activated carbon, flexible MOFs with a MIL-53 topology showed remarkable performances for the desulfurization in the presence of OCCs.
