Publication number: 20240181425Abstract: This invention relates to modified MOF materials, methods of preparing them and processes using them. A modified MOF of the invention is modified by impregnating a MOF with an inorganic metal salt. The starting MOF contains at least one linker or ligand which contains an aryl amino group as part of its structure. These modified MOFs are able to adsorb either basic or acidic toxic industrial compounds (TIC). The modified MOFs can be used to remove TICs from various gaseous streams such as air.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: NuMat Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mitchell Hugh Weston, William Morris, William Joseph Hoover, Patrick Emmett Fuller, John Paul Siegfried, Randi Danielle Groy, Jeffrey Loren Wells, Timothy Chiaan Wang, Edwin Alfonso Argueta Fajardo

Patent number: 11679373Abstract: This invention relates to a Cu-BTC MOF which is water stable. The Cu-BTC MOF has been modified by substituting some of the BTC ligand (1,3,5, benzene tricarboxylic acid) with 5-aminoisophthalic acid (AIA). The resultant MOF retains at least 40% of its as synthesized surface area after exposure to liquid water at 60° C. for 6 hours. This is an unexpected result versus the MOF containing only the BTC ligand. This MOF can be used to abate contaminants such as ammonia in gas streams and especially air streams.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2022Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: NuMat Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mitchell Hugh Weston, Edwin Alfonso Argueta Fajardo

Patent number: 11642650Abstract: This invention relates to a method of using MOF adsorbents to remove elemental impurities from feed streams comprising active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The process involves contacting the feed stream comprising API and elemental impurities with the MOF at purification conditions to obtain a purified stream with provides an API which has a concentration of the elemental impurity below its permitted daily exposure. The process can be carried in a batch mode where the MOF and feed stream are admixed in a vessel for a given amount of time or continuously by flowing the feed stream through a column or adsorbent bed containing the MOF adsorbent.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: NuMat Technologies Inc.Inventors: William Morris, Timothy Chiaan Wang, Mitchell Hugh Weston, Vincent Rinaolo

Publication number: 20230038608Abstract: Functionalized polymer adsorbents for removing impurities from a feed stream comprising an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) include particles of functionalized with at least one functional moiety capable of binding one or more contaminants, the polymer being a macroreticular polymer and the functionalized polymer adsorbents having a pore volume of at least 0.65 cm3/g. Alternatively, the adsorbent can comprise a polymer functionalized with either 2,4,6,-dimercaptotriazine-ethylenedithiol (DMT-EDT) adduct, 2,4,6,-trimercaptotriazine-ethylenedithiol (TMT-EDT) adduct, or a combination thereof, and the polymer can be either a macroreticular polymer or a swellable polymer. The adsorbents can be used in either continuous or batch processes for removing contaminants from an API-containing feed stream wherein the contaminants can include elemental impurities, particularly palladium.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: NuMat Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Glenn McPherson Tom, Natalie Nicholls, Mitchell Hugh Weston, Nicolaas Vermeulen, Vincent Rinaolo
