THE DEVELOPMENT OF POROUS MATERIALS FOR VARIOUS SECTORS
MATPOROUS
Motivation
Monitoring air quality and energy resources in industry is of vital importance to ensure sustainable and energy-efficient development, promoting pollutant-free, low-emission and energy-sustainable environments. There is now a clear need to develop innovative and efficient technologies to capture and store gases and eliminate harmful agents and the use of porous materials with pores in their internal structure, can be of great use in addressing these challenges through sustainable and high-performance solutions.
In summary, the MATPOROUS project offers an effective and versatile solution for the capture and elimination of polluting gases, as well as the storage of compounds for the production of clean energy and advanced energy technologies with the aim of providing real and scalable solutions to industry.
Objectives
The main objective of the project is the development of porous materials with industrial applications in various sectors in the Valencia Region, such as textiles, construction and chemicals.
Specific objectives include:
– Development of active carbons that incorporate certain catalysts to achieve a high degradation of pollutants and harmful gases.
– Development of aerogels with good mechanical properties and high porosity,.
– Development of MOFs with the aim of using them as pollutant degraders and the synthesis of MOFs that offer optimal gas capture and storage properties for sustainable energy production.
Expected results
The project expects to design at least two prototypes of porous materials (activated carbons and modified aerogels) that can be used directly in the degradation of pollutants in industrial environments in the chemical sector.
In the case of MOFs, the aim is to design a prototype with the capacity to degrade pollutants in industrial environments, as well as the design of MOFs capable of storing gases for energy purposes in industrial environments within the strategic lines of the Valencia Region.
