Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the adsorption of toluene in UiO-66 materials. Toluene is a volatile, aromatic organic molecule that is recognized as the main component of VOCs. These compounds are harmful to the environment as well as to living organisms. One of the materials that allows the capture of toluene is the UiO-66. A satisfactory representation of the calculated isotherm steep front and sorption capacity compared to the experiment was obtained by reducing the force field σ parameter by 5% and increasing ε by 5%. Average occupation profiles, which are projections of the positions of molecules during pressure increase, as well as RDFs, which are designed to determine the distance of the center of mass of the toluene molecule from organic linkers and metal clusters, respectively, made it possible to explain the mechanism of toluene adsorption on the UiO-66 material.
