Gas Chromatography for the comprehensive study of VOCs removal by MOF-based materials

Equipment, AAP 2019-2

Team : Institute of Porous Materials of Paris

Project leader : Georges Mouchaham

Abstract :

This project aims at the acquisition of a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer equipped with a multifunction sampler including a thermodesorber unit (TD-GCMS). This highly efficient tool will mainly serve to address comprehensive studies in the perspective to evaluate the potential MOFs in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal.

It is also expected that this TD-GCMS will help in investigating porous solids for applications related to molecular adsorption applied to environmental issues, cosmetics and/or cultural heritage preservation.

This project relies on the mutual expertise of IMAP (in porous solids) and LSABM (in advanced analytical techniques).

Themes :

• Time resolved and multi-techniques characterization
