TITANIUM-IRON MOF SOLID, PROCEDURE TO OBTAIN IT AND ITS USE FOR THE DEGRADATION OF COMPOUNDS
WO2021148702
This porous and crystalline metal-organic hybrid material (MOF) based on titanium and iron combines high porosity, similar to that of activated carbons, with high stability in aqueous media. This combination of metals gives it catalytic activity for the degradation of toxic compounds in water without the need for additives. These characteristics make it a novel material that can degrade toxins and pollutants without prior conditioning, which would facilitate its incorporation in different applications such as degrading pesticides, degrading pollutants and toxic compounds such as organophosphorus compounds. They can also be used in the textile industry for the production of masks with filters made of this material for protection against toxic agents.
Applications: The technology is applicable in the chemical industry, in agriculture for the degradation of pesticides and in defence and protection materials for military equipment, in addition to being able to be used in water treatment. Competitive advantages: The main advantages and benefits provided by the invention would be: - Ability to degrade toxic compounds and pollutants. - Increase the service life of the products in which it is used. - The material is highly stable, making it possible to apply it in media with both acidic and basic pHs, which improves its durability.
