  • Patent number: 9175025
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a porous organic-inorganic hybrid, which comprises gelling a reaction mixture containing a metal precursor, a water-soluble additive and water or water-containing organic solvent at a gelling temperature of 30° C.˜100° C. to obtain an organogel-containing solution having a viscosity of 2 to 50,000 (cps), subsequently ageing the solution at said gelling temperature under stirring; and subsequently heating the organogel-containing solution at a temperature between said gelling temperature and 250° C. to crystallize the solution.

  • Patent number: 8926736
    Abstract: The present invention relates to reducible porous crystalline solids, constituted of a metal-organic framework (MOF), for the separation of mixtures of molecules having different unsaturation degrees and/or a different number of unsaturations with a selectivity that can be adjusted by controlling the reduction of the MOF. The MOF solids of the present invention, after reduction, have a strong affinity for molecules containing at least one unsaturation. They can be used in various separation processes, especially those relating to hydrocarbons.

  • Publication number: 20120129684
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of solids consisting of a metal-organic framework (MOF) and having the units of the following formula (I): MmOkXILp as a nitrogen-oxide catalyst. The present invention also relates to devices for enabling the implementation of said use. The nitrogen oxides in question are nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, collectively referred to as NOx. The MOF solids of the present invention are advantageously capable of removing nitrogen oxides from a liquid or gaseous effluent, for example from water, from the exhaust gases of a vehicle, factory, workshop, laboratory, stored products, urban air vents, etc., without any reducing agent and at a low temperature. The DeNOx catalysis is a major issue for our societies. The invention can be used for reducing or even avoiding the consequences for public health of the toxic NOx gases resulting from human activity.
