CPO-27(Ni), aluminium fumarate and MIL-101(Cr) MOF materials for adsorption water desalination

The thermodynamic cycle performance of a two beds adsorption system was evaluated using Simulink software to assess the suitability of those MOFs for adsorption desalination and their performance under different operating conditions. The CPO-27(Ni) was found to produce around 4.3 m3·(ton·day)− 1 at an evaporation temperature of 5 °C while aluminium fumarate produced around 6 m3·(ton·day)− 1 at an evaporation temperature of 20 °C. As for MIL-101(Cr), the water production rate at 20 °C was 11 m3·(ton·day)− 1 highlighting the potential of this material compared to other adsorbents.
