| Project Detail |
Liquid phase adsorption technology is crucial in industrial sectors focused on the separation, purification, or extraction of liquids or dissolved species such as petrochemical, water treatment, and pharmacologic industries. However, the characterization of the adsorption capacity of sorbents towards adsorptives in the liquid phase is still complex. Commonly used procedures for liquid phase adsorption characterization are tedious, time consuming, and manually done. This is mainly due to the lack of standardized procedures and the absence of specialized instrumentation to automatize the measurements. Thus, the transfer of liquid phase adsorption methods to a wider market of laboratory instrumentation has significant market potential for SMEs and promotes materials discovery in industry. Dynamic (flexible) porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks are already recognized as highly selective adsorbents suitable to revolutionize separation technologies. In order to completely unlock the potential of dynamic porous sorbents, industrial R&D Departments, research institutes, and academic institutions require advanced instrumentation for assessing the liquid phase adsorption capacity of dynamic porous materials. DYNALIP aims to develop a novel advanced on-line liquid phase adsorption technology to perform quantitative and exact liquid phase adsorption measurements. The successful project completion will allow the commercialization of an advanced device for laboratory use to promote the discovery and analysis of novel porous materials for highly selective liquid phase separation applications. |
