Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What are the main features of the MOF manufacturing technology developed by ROKI?
- A: The main features include water-based synthesis without organic solvents, synthesis under normal pressure and short time, suitability for mass production through continuous synthesis, and uniform particle size.
- Q: What are the advantages compared to conventional MOF manufacturing?
- A: It is safer due to the use of water instead of organic solvents, and can be manufactured in a short time (1-18 hours) under mild conditions (room temperature to 90°C and 1 atmosphere pressure).
- Q: What applications are envisioned for the developed technology?
- A: Applications include the recovery and separation of greenhouse gases like CO2, regeneration and reuse of rare gases, and control of gas concentrations in indoor and transport container environments.
- Q: What challenges is ROKI trying to address with this technology?
- A: ROKI aims to solve the challenges of using large amounts of organic solvents in conventional MOF manufacturing, high-pressure and long-duration manufacturing processes, and difficulties in achieving quality stability and scale-up.
- Q: Does ROKI's technology already have patents?
- A: Yes, it has obtained Patent No. 7406668 and No. 7411846.
