Mikroporit

Mikroporit is a term that generally refers to materials containing micropores, which are pores with diameters less than 2 nanometers. These materials are characterized by their high surface area and unique physical properties, making them valuable in a variety of applications. The size and distribution of these micropores are crucial to the performance of mikroporous materials.

Common examples of mikroporous materials include zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicates with well-defined pore structures. MOFs are highly porous crystalline materials constructed from metal ions or clusters connected by organic ligands. Activated carbons and certain clays can also exhibit microporosity.

The applications of mikroporous materials are diverse. They are widely used as adsorbents for gas separation and purification, such as in carbon capture technologies or the production of industrial gases. Their catalytic properties are also significant, with zeolites being extensively employed as catalysts in the petrochemical industry. Furthermore, mikroporous materials find use in drug delivery systems, sensors, and membranes for filtration. Research continues to explore new mikroporous materials and their potential in advanced technologies.
