Over the last at least three decades, the science of porous solid materials has
become one of the most intense areas of study for chemists, physicists, and
materials scientists. These materials have found a large number of applications
in many fields, such as adsorption, separation and purification, as well as
catalysis. Porous solids acting as adsorbents or membrane fillers are playing key
roles in separations and purifications of various chemicals that we encounter in
our daily activities, directly or indirectly. Explorations of advanced porous
materials for these applications are therefore an intense subject of scientific
research. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) offer diverse structures and pore
topologies and accessible cages and tunnels; therefore, they are increasingly in
demand for applications in gas storage, separations, (photo) catalysis and drug
delivery, among others. Recently, MOFs have been revealed to be prospective
stationary phases for packed columns and coated capillary columns in gas
chromatographic separations; separation and purification of industrial
hydrocarbon mixtures, herbicides, industrial dyes; and as an adsorbent in solid
phase microextraction. In this work we analyze the behavior of two different
types of MOF in the purification of the azeotropic mixtures amine-water and
herbicide-water, as well as the performance of these MOF as a stationary phase
in chromatographic columns for the separation of industrial dyes and alcohol
mixtures.
