Adsorbens, Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung und Verwendung in Wärmespeichern und Wärmepumpen

(A1) Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Adsorbens aus hydrophilen und porösen metallorganischen Gerüststrukturen (engl. metalorganic framework, MOF). Dieses Adsorbens findet Verwendung in Wärmespeichern oder Wärmepumpen.

DE 102006043648 A1 UPAB: 20080313 NOVELTY - Preparation of an adsorbent comprises reacting a hydrophilic and porous metal-organic framework structure (MOF) with at least a transition metal salt containing at least a di- or multivalent organic ligand, where the reaction takes place in an organic solvent with a boiling point of at least 90degreesC. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for the adsorbent obtained by the above process. USE - The adsorbent is useful in engine heat accumulator and heat pumps (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The process provides adsorbent with smaller crystallite size, which leads to improved sorption kinetics.
