Description

Key Properties & Advantages
ZIF-8 (KAR-F01)??s performance stems from its robust structure and optimized synthesis:

Uniform Microporous Structure: Features a well-defined pore network with a pore size of ~3.4???ideal for molecular sieving of small molecules (e.g., CO?, N?, H?). Its high BET surface area (typically 1400?C1900 m2/g) provides abundant adsorption sites, enhancing efficiency in separation and catalysis.
Exceptional Stability: Inherits ZIF-8??s legendary chemical resilience, stable in water (pH 4?C12), organic solvents, and moderate temperatures (up to 250??C under inert conditions). Outperforms many MOFs in humid or aqueous environments, a critical advantage for industrial use.
Optimized Ball-Milling Synthesis: Our proprietary synthesis method ensures:
Preserved Crystallinity: Maintains the ordered structure of ZIF-8, avoiding amorphization common in conventional grinding processes.
Efficient Mass Production: Scalable synthesis without compromising quality, making industrial-scale deployment feasible.
Controlled Particle Size: Adjustable D50 (1?C5??m) via synthesis tuning, allowing customization for specific applications (e.g., fine powders for catalysis, larger particles for packed-bed separators).
Biocompatibility: Zinc-based composition and inert framework make it suitable for biocompatible applications, such as drug delivery carriers.
Core Applications
CO?/N? Selective Adsorption
ZIF-8 (KAR-F01) is a benchmark material for CO? separation, leveraging its ~3.4? pores and zinc-mediated interactions:

Selectively adsorbs CO? (kinetic diameter ~3.3?) over N? (~3.6?) via molecular sieving, making it ideal for carbon capture from flue gases, biogas upgrading, and air separation.
High CO? adsorption capacity (up to 4.5 mmol/g at 273K, 1 bar) and reversible adsorption-desorption cycles enable energy-efficient separation processes.
Molecular Sieving
Its precise pore size enables selective separation of small molecules in industrial and research settings:

Sieves light hydrocarbons (e.g., C?H?/C?H?, CH?/N?) for petrochemical purification.
Purifies gases like H? (kinetic diameter ~2.9?) from mixed streams, supporting hydrogen fuel production.
Biocompatible Drug Carriers
ZIF-8 (KAR-F01)??s biocompatibility and porous structure make it an excellent drug delivery platform:

Encapsulates small-molecule drugs within its pores, protecting them from degradation.
Enables controlled release via pH-triggered framework dissolution (e.g., in acidic tumor microenvironments), improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects.
Industrial Catalysis
Serves as a stable catalyst support or intrinsic catalyst for various reactions:

Hosts metal nanoparticles (e.g., Pd, Pt) for hydrogenation, oxidation, or coupling reactions, with its pores confining reactants to enhance selectivity.
Zinc ions act as mild Lewis acid sites, promoting catalytic activity in organic synthesis (e.g., esterification, cycloadditions).
