Reusability & Desorption

The financial viability of industrial adsorbents relies on regeneration. MOFFer targets a 5-cycle reuse threshold (N=5) to maintain its cost advantage.

  • Alkaline Wash: Desorption utilizes NaOH, which literature proves yields 70%+ desorption for anionic dyes.
  • Zero Toxic Leaching: The Fe-carboxylate bonds remain stable during standard operational parameters.
  • End of Life: Exhausted filters can undergo safe incineration. Because the composite is entirely carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and iron, it burns off to leave only benign Iron Oxide (rust) ash.

Validation Metrics

  • Removal in 1st Hour: ~80%
  • Removal in 6 Hours: ~98%
  • Energy Profile: ~26% less total system energy compared to AC.
  • Selectivity: Actively rejects Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ hard water minerals, preventing early filter fouling common in unpurified industrial effluents.
