Metal-Organic Frameworks for the Capture of Chlorinated Volatile Organic Compounds: A Case Study on Perchloroethylene.

ABSTRACT: Indoor air pollution, particularly the presence of chlorinated volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene (PCE), poses significant risks to human health and comfort in residential environments and industrial settings. While conventional abatement methods such as catalytic oxidation are energy-intensive and produce toxic byproducts, adsorption-based techniques offer an eco-friendlier alternative to capture PCE. In this study, a range of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with different pore sizes and fluorine-based functional groups as PCE sorbents, focusing on their performance at trace concentrations typical of indoor environments are systematically explored. The experimental findings evidence that CAU-11(Al) is highly effective at capturing traces of PCE, while DUT-4(Al) and Cu-NH2-T
