This study investigated the adsorption ability of the highly scalable metal-organic framework (MOF) CALF-20 for polar and non-polar gases at low pressure through grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results showed that CALF-20 had the highest loading for SO2 and Cl-2, but the lowest loading for F-2. It was concluded that CALF-20 is a suitable adsorbent for SO2 and Cl-2 but not for F-2, emphasizing the importance of molecular size, geometry, and polarity in determining adsorbent suitability.
In this study, the ability of the highly scalable metal-organic framework (MOF) CALF-20 to adsorb polar and non-polar gases at low pressure was investigated using grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results from the simulated adsorption isotherms revealed that the highest loading was achieved for SO2 and Cl-2, while the lowest loading was found for F-2 molecules. The analysis of interaction energies indicated that SO2 molecules were able to form the strongest adsorbent-adsorbate interactions and had a tight molecular packing due to their polarity and angular structure. Additionally, Cl-2 gas was found to be highly adsorbed due to its large van der Waals surface and strong chemical affinity in CALF-20 pores. MD simulations showed that SO2 and Cl-2 had the lowest mobility inside CALF-20 pores. The values of the Henry coefficient and isosteric heat of adsorption confirmed that CALF-20 could selectively adsorb SO2 and Cl-2. Based on the results, it was concluded that CALF-20 is a suitable adsorbent for SO2 and Cl-2 but not for F-2. This research emphasizes the importance of molecular size, geometry, and polarity in determining the suitability of a porous material as an adsorbent for specific adsorbates.
