General description

Basolite (TM) A100 is also known as MIL-53(Al). It is an ultramicroporous metal framework (MOF).
Basolite®A100 is a microporous metal-organic framework (MOF), which consists of three-dimensional networks with micropores up to 900 pm in diameter. It has characteristics that are identical to MIL-53(Al) as it contains octahedral AlO4(OH)2 units connected through 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate ligands. It allows the formation of a framework with a high specific surface of 1084 m2g-1 area and a pore volume of about 0.51 cm2g-1.
This product aligns with one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry Find details here.

Application

Basolite®A100 is majorly used in the binary gas separation of CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2. It can also be used for gas adsorption (hydrogen gas) and for the supercritical adsorption of CO2.
Basolite (TM) A100 was used in the separation of C8-alkylaromatic compounds.
