The potential of safe and low-cost batch production processes for Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) at an industrial scale has been evaluated based on the prototypical MOF MIL-160(Al), a bio-derived material of high practical interest that can be made with a high space-time yield using green ambient pressure conditions. A simple method to calculate the production cost of this material has been determined based on a simulated process constructed with the data collected from laboratory pilot large-scale tests taking into account for the first time in MOF cost evaluation all the process parameters such as the scale, the cost of the raw materials, recirculation, and washing. The investment for a production plant established the ground for the estimation of the complete cost. The expected cost ranged from ca. 55 $ per kg at 100 tons per year down to 29.5 $ per kg for 1 kton per year production with longer term perspectives of reaching costs below 10 $ per kg once the bio-derived ligand is considered for the large-scale production of bioplastics.

MOFs产业化：生产成本的完整评估

已经基于原型 MOF MIL-160(Al) 评估了工业规模的安全和低成本批量生产金属有机框架 (MOF) 工艺的潜力，这是一种具有高度实用价值的生物衍生材料，可以使用绿色环境压力条件以高时空产量制成。基于从实验室大规模试验收集的数据构建的模拟过程，确定了一种计算该材料生产成本的简单方法，并首次在 MOF 成本评估​​中考虑了所有工艺参数，如规模、原材料、再循环和洗涤的成本。对生产工厂的投资为估算总成本奠定了基础。预期成本范围从ca。每年 100 吨时每公斤 55 美元降至每年 1 吨生产时每公斤 29.5 美元，一旦考虑将生物衍生配体用于大规模生产生物塑料，从长远来看，成本将低于每公斤 10 美元。
