<p> In this work, we proposed multi-scale screening, which employs both molecular and process-level models, to identify high-performing MOFs for energy-efficient separation of SF$_6$ from SF$_6$ and N$_2$ mixture. Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations were combined with ideal adsorption process simulation to computationally screen 14,000 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for adsorptive separation of SF$_6$ \/ N$_2$. More than 150 high-performing MOFs were identified based on the results from GCMC simulations at the pressure and vacuum swing conditions, and subsequently evaluated using the ideal adsorption process simulation. High-performing MOFs selected for the VSA conditions are able to achieve the 90 \% target purity level of SF$_6$ but none of the selected MOFs for PSA conditions could. Cascade PSA configuration was proposed and adopted to improve the purity level of the separated SF$_6$. Cascade PSA configuration was also adopted to improve the purity. In the pump efficiency scenarios of 80, 20, and 10 \%, the VSA and cascade PSA cases were compared, which concluded 10 \% scenario prefers the PSA case whereas the VSA case is favored in the others. Top-performing MOFs identified from the multi-scale computational approach were found to be able to produce 90\% purity SF$_6$ with 0.10 - 0.4 and 0.5 - 1.4 MJ per kg of SF$_6$ for VSA and PSA, respectively.<br></p>

We used experimental isotherm data available in the literature to evaluate the process-level performance of top-performing materials (HKUST-1, UiO-67) along with other materials (MIL-100(Fe), UiO-66, and zeolite-13X) with experimental isotherm data. We found that there is a reasonable agreement between using simulated and experimental isotherm data.<br></p>

The microporous MOF MIL-140B can separate hexane isomers according to the degree of branching, linear >mono-branched >di-branched, with a remarkably high selectivity up to 10 at 343 K. GCMC simulations confirm the origins of the molecular separation.

The effective removal of uranium from an aqueous solution is a highly valuable process for the environment and health. In this study, we developed a facile and rapid method to synthesize hierarchically porous Cu-BTC (RT-Cu-BTC) using a cooperative template strategy. The as-synthesized RT-Cu-BTC exhibited hierarchically porous structure and excellent thermostability, as revealed by X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Compared with conventional metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and zeolites, the obtained RT-Cu-BTC exhibited enhanced adsorption capacity (839.7 mg·g−1) and high removal efficiency (99.8%) in the capture of uranium (VI) from aqueous solutions. Furthermore, the conditions such as adsorbent dose, contact time, and temperature in adsorption of uranium (VI) by RT-Cu-BTC were investigated in detail. The thermodynamics data demonstrated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the uranium (VI) adsorption process. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order models could better reflect the adsorption process of uranium (VI) onto RT-Cu-BTC. In addition, the as-synthesized RT-Cu-BTC showed excellent stability in removing uranium (VI) from an aqueous solution. This work provides a facile and rapid approach for fabricating hierarchically porous MOFs to realize a highly efficient removal of uranium (VI) from aqueous systems.
