Author:Bambalaza, Sonwabo E; Langmi, HW; Mokaya, R; Musyoka, Nicholas M; Khotseng, LEDate:Dec 2020We report on a concept of co-pelletization using mechanically robust hydroxylated UiO-66 to develop a metal-organic framework (MOF) monolith that contains 5 wt% electrospun polymer nanofibers, and consists of an architecture with alternating ...Read more
Author:Bambalaza, Sonwabo E; Langmi, HW; Mokaya, R; Musyoka, Nicholas M; Khotseng, LEDate:May 2020High-pressure (700 MPa or ∼100 000 psi) compaction of dehydroxylated and hydroxylated UiO-66 for H2 storage applications is reported. The dehydroxylation reaction was found to occur between 150 and 300 °C. The H2 uptake capacity of powdered ...Read more
Author:Maponya, TG; Makgopa, K; Somo, TR; Tshwane, David M; Modibane, KDDate:Dec 2023Herein, a metal–organic framework (MIL-101(Cr)) was synthesized and functionalized with ethylenediamine-glutaraldehyde (ED-GA for removal of palladium (Pd2+) and platinum (Pt4+) from wastewater. The chemical structure, surface properties, ...Read more
