Comparison of the benzene sorption properties of metal organic frameworks: influence of the textural properties

Environ Sci Process Impacts. 2019 Mar 20;21(3):407-412. doi: 10.1039/c8em00481a.

Abstract

The adsorption of benzene by CuBTC and MIL101(Cr) is investigated. The differences between both materials are discussed in terms of porous volume and affinities, determined by calculating Henry's constants and by measuring the adsorption enthalpies. If MIL101(Cr) adsorbs higher quantities of benzene, CuBTC develops stronger interaction, interesting for VOC remediation.
