Features of the separation of difficultly separable organic compounds by liquid-phase adsorption on HKUST-1-type framework structures

The work is devoted to the study of the adsorption characteristics of MOF based on Cu2+ for the processes of liquid-phase adsorption of aromatic organic compounds. The metal organic framework HKUST-1 based on Cu2+ ions with 1,3,5-benzenethricarboxylic acid as ligands was studied and its adsorption parameters were established, in particular, retention times for various substances from a number of chlorophenols, efficiency and resolution of chromatographic HKUST-1 based columns for selected compounds. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
