  • Activation of Porous MOF Materials
    Publication number: 20140206531
    Abstract: A method for the treatment of solvent-containing MOF material to increase its internal surface area involves introducing a liquid into the MOF in which liquid the solvent is miscible, subjecting the MOF to supercritical conditions for a time to form supercritical fluid, and releasing the supercritical conditions to remove the supercritcal fluid from the MOF. Prior to introducing the liquid into the MOF, occluded reaction solvent, such as DEF or DMF, in the MOF can be exchanged for the miscible solvent.

  • ANTIMICROBIAL POLYCATIONIC SAND FILTER FOR WATER DISINFECTION
    Publication number: 20140202964
    Abstract: A composition comprised of sand and a hydrophobic polycationic polymer covalently bonded to the sand is provided. Exemplary polycationic polymer are N,N-hexyl, methyl-PEI or N,N-dodecyl, methyl-PEI. This antimicrobial polycationic sand filter uses the antimicrobial properties of hydrophobic polycations (N-hexylated polyethylenimine). The sand filter inactivates microorganisms, as water is run through the sand. Preliminary sand washing methods can be used regenerate the inactivation efficacy. Unlike traditional water disinfectants, the polycationic sand filter does not create harmful disinfection byproducts and does not require large chemical and energy consumption.
