| Product Name | MIL-100(Fe) |
| Particle size | 200~500 nm |
| Specific surface area | ≥1300 ㎡/g |
| Pore size | 0.3~1 nm |
MIL-100(Fe) can maintain to be remarkably stable under a large scope of water vapor pressures or treatment with boiling water. On the one hand, iron, the metal center of MIL-100(Fe), is cheap, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly compared with other metals (i.e., Co, Cr, etc), which also makes MIL-100(Fe) welcome. On the other hand, MIL-100(Fe) as a supporting matrix possesses distinctive characteristics including high thermal stability (up to 280 °C in air and 340 °C in N2) and mesoporous structure enabling easy and rapid diffusion of reactant molecules.
MIL-100(Fe) was found to show a good performance in gas adsorption and separation. First, MIL-100(Fe) with mesoporous cages could be a potential water vapor adsorbent. According to its water sorption isotherm at 30 °C, MIL-100(Fe) showed outstanding water sorption uptakes up to 0.873 g H2O per g dry absorbent at partial pressures of over 0.5. This value for MIL-100(Fe) absorbent was much higher than those of commercial adsorbents including NaX (0.336 g/g), SAPO-34 (0.330 g/g), and silica gel (0.327 g/g). In contrast to the conventional porous materials which needed to be dehydrated at high temperature before use, the MIL-100(Fe) adsorbent required a dehydration temperature of 70 °C. The excellent performance in water vapor adsorption exhibited by MIL-100(Fe) suggested commercially viable application of energy-effcient desiccant dehumidification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the specific surface area and particle size of MIL-100(Fe)?
MIL-100(Fe) has a specific surface area of ≥1300 ㎡/g and a particle size ranging from 200 to 500 nm.
Q: What are the thermal stability limits of MIL-100(Fe)?
MIL-100(Fe) exhibits high thermal stability up to 280 °C in air and up to 340 °C in a Nitrogen (N2) atmosphere.
Q: Why is MIL-100(Fe) considered environmentally friendly compared to other MOFs?
The metal center of MIL-100(Fe) is iron, which makes it cheap, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly compared to metal-organic frameworks containing metals like Cobalt (Co) or Chromium (Cr).
Q: How does the water sorption capacity of MIL-100(Fe) compare to traditional silica gel?
At partial pressures over 0.5, MIL-100(Fe) shows an outstanding water sorption uptake of up to 0.873 g H2O/g, which is significantly higher than that of silica gel (0.327 g/g), NaX (0.336 g/g), and SAPO-34 (0.330 g/g).
Q: What temperature is required to dehydrate MIL-100(Fe) before application?
Unlike conventional porous materials that require high-temperature dehydration, MIL-100(Fe) only requires a dehydration temperature of 70 °C.
Q: What are the primary commercial applications of MIL-100(Fe)?
Due to its high water vapor adsorption capacity and low regeneration temperature, it is highly suitable for gas adsorption, gas separation, and energy-efficient desiccant dehumidification.
