Testing Cr(Ii)-Btc For Ammonia Adsorption Capabilities: A Research Proposal, Tyler Hemingway
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Excerpt from Purpose and Hypothesis
The purpose of this thesis is to determine the ability of a particular metal-organic framework (MOF), Cr(II)-BTC, to adsorb ammonia (NH3) gas. This particular MOF was chosen for this study due to the Cr having open metal sites, which are generally suitable locations for ammonia adsorption as seen in other MOFs.1,2,3 This study will be done by testing Cr(II)-BTC’s ability to adsorb as well as another MOFs ability to adsorb ammonia. From this data, the ability of Cr(II)-BTC to adsorb ammonia repeatedly and under dry or humid conditions will also be determined. …
