This review focuses on the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for adsorbing gas species that are known to weaken the thermal self-regulation capacities of Earth’s atmosphere. A large section is dedicated to the adsorption of carbon dioxide, while another section is dedicated to the adsorption of other different gas typologies, whose emissions, for various reasons, represent a “wound” for Earth’s atmosphere. High emphasis is given to MOFs that have moved enough ahead in their development process to be currently considered as potentially usable in “real-world” (i.e., out-of-lab) adsorption processes. As a result, there is strong evidence of a wide gap between laboratory results and the industrial implementation of MOF-based adsorbents. Indeed, when a MOF that performs well in a specific process is commercially available in large quantities, economic observations still make designers tend toward more traditional adsorbents. Moreover, there are cases in which a specific MOF remarkably outperforms the currently employed adsorbents, but it is not industrially produced, thus strongly limiting its possibilities in large-scale use. To overcome such limitations, it is hoped that the chemical industry will be able to provide more and more mass-produced MOFs at increasingly competitive costs in the future.

基于MOF的用于大气排放控制的吸附剂：综述

这篇综述着重于利用金属有机框架（MOFs）来吸附已知会削弱地球大气层热自我调节能力的气体物种。很大一部分专门用于吸附二氧化碳，而另一部分专门用于吸附其他不同类型的气体，由于各种原因，其排放代表地球大气的“伤口”。MOF高度重视，它们在开发过程中已经取得了足够的进步，以至于目前被认为可在“实际”（即实验室外）吸附过程中使用。结果，有力的证据表明实验室结果与基于MOF的吸附剂的工业应用之间存在巨大差距。确实，当在特定过程中表现良好的MOF大量上市时，经济观察仍然使设计者倾向于使用更传统的吸附剂。此外，在某些情况下，特定的MOF明显优于当前使用的吸附剂，但它不是工业生产的，因此强烈限制了其在大规模使用中的可能性。为了克服这些限制，希望化学工业将来能够以越来越具有竞争力的成本提供越来越多的MOF。
