Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for gas adsorption in various industrial processes due to their high surface area, tunable pore size, and exceptional adsorption properties. This thesis presents an investigation into the synthesis and application of MOFs for gas adsorption in industrial processes. The research aims to explore the potential of MOFs in addressing challenges related to gas separation, storage, and purification in industries. The study begins with a comprehensive review of the background literature on MOFs, including their structure, properties, and applications in gas adsorption. The literature review highlights the significance of MOFs in providing efficient solutions for gas separation and storage, thereby contributing to sustainability and energy efficiency in industrial processes. The research methodology section outlines the experimental procedures for the synthesis of MOFs using various precursors and solvents. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and gas adsorption analysis are employed to evaluate the structural properties and gas adsorption performance of the synthesized MOFs. The findings from the experimental investigations are discussed in detail in chapter four, focusing on the adsorption capacities and selectivity of MOFs towards different gases relevant to industrial applications. The results demonstrate the potential of MOFs as effective adsorbents for the separation and purification of gases in industrial processes, with specific emphasis on carbon capture and storage, natural gas purification, and hydrogen storage. The conclusion summarizes the key findings of the study and highlights the significance of MOFs as promising materials for gas adsorption in industrial processes. The research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on MOFs and their potential applications in addressing environmental and energy challenges in industries. In conclusion, this thesis provides valuable insights into the synthesis and application of Metal-Organic Frameworks for gas adsorption in industrial processes. The findings demonstrate the potential of MOFs as efficient adsorbents for gas separation, storage, and purification, with implications for enhancing sustainability and energy efficiency in industrial operations. This research contributes to advancing the field of MOFs and offers practical solutions for improving gas adsorption processes in various industrial sectors.
