  • Patent number: 12168216
    Abstract: This invention relates to metal organic framework (MOF) compositions, methods of preparing them and methods of using them. The MOF compositions are characterized in that at least a portion of the linker molecule is an amino containing organic linker. The MOF also has a crystal size of greater than 1 ?m and has been treated with an acid wash to provide a MOF in which at least 55% of the amino groups are activated amino groups of the form —NH2. The MOF compositions are useful in adsorbing various contaminants from various gas stream. One specific example is adsorbing NO2 from an air stream.

  • Publication number: 20240181425
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11679373
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11642650
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230038608
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11402811
    Abstract: There is a need for solutions for efficiently and reliably perform sensor-based predictive data analysis. This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing cross-sensor predictive data analysis. In one example, a method for performing cross-sensor predictive data analysis includes identifying sensor input data objects comprising one or more image data objects; determining sensor feature data objects based on the sensor input data objects; generating predictions for a target predictive entity associated with the sensor input data objects by processing the sensor feature data objects using a cross-sensor predictive inference model; and performing prediction-based actions based on the cross-sensor predictions.
