Materyx develops metal–organic framework (MOF) adsorbents that take CO₂ out of industrial flue gas at low temperature and release it again with less heat. We test them on your stream and help fit them to your process.

1What we do
Three things, in the order a project needs them.
Metal–organic framework adsorbents for CO₂ capture and water treatment. In development, with pilot batches of 1 g, 10 g and 100 g planned.
See the materialsWe measure capacity, selectivity and cyclic stability against your own gas or water, then confirm the result in a fixed-bed column.
How we validateCompatibility analysis, field validation and custom adsorbent design, so the material is fitted to your plant and not the other way round.
Our consulting2Why it matters
Industry has to separate CO₂ from its exhaust, and the sorbents available today are expensive to run.

Türkiye’s Climate Law and the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism are turning emissions into a cost line. Cement, energy and heavy industry need capture that is affordable to operate, not just technically possible.
For a plant it comes down to energy: how little it takes to capture the CO₂, and how little to empty the adsorbent again.
3Why it works
In MOF-74 the metal sites face into the channels. CO₂ binds there, and the rest of the gas passes through.
Metal–organic frameworks are assembled from metal nodes and organic linkers, so their pores are designed, not found. In MOF-74 the open metal sites give high selectivity for CO₂ at low temperature, and a mesoporous structure keeps gas moving through the crystal. Together they are the basis for capture at low temperature and regeneration with less heat.
How it works in a processmm
Shaped adsorbent fills the column.
µm
Every particle is built from fine crystals.
nm
Hexagonal channels run through each crystal.
Å
CO₂ binds to an exposed metal atom.
4In your plant
The same fixed-bed principle serves a gas stream and a water stream.
Flue gas passes through a fixed bed. CO₂ stays in the pores and the rest of the stream moves on. Mild heating then releases the CO₂ and readies the bed for the next cycle. Our target is 120 °C or below.
For Cement, energy and heavy industry
The same porous platform aimed at heavy metals and organic contaminants, with an adsorbent designed to be regenerated and reused rather than discarded.
For Environmental technology and industrial water
5What we are developing
In development now, with 1 g, 10 g and 100 g batches planned for fixed-bed validation and field tests.
6Working together
Every stage starts from your stream and your conditions.
1
We start with your stream, conditions and product requirements.
2
We select or develop an adsorbent and characterise it.
3
Performance tests confirm the material against your requirements.
4
Scale-up and customer demonstrations prepare it for real use.
