Capture carbon with less energy.

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

From adsorbent to working process.

Three things, in the order a project needs them.

2Why it matters

Capturing carbon still costs too much energy.

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

Every pore has a job.

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 process

Packed bed

Shaped adsorbent fills the column.

µm

Crystals

Every particle is built from fine crystals.

nm

Channels

Hexagonal channels run through each crystal.

Å

Open metal site

CO₂ binds to an exposed metal atom.

4In your plant

How it runs in a process.

The same fixed-bed principle serves a gas stream and a water stream.

Carbon capture

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.

Water treatment

5What we are developing

Three frameworks to test on your stream.

In development now, with 1 g, 10 g and 100 g batches planned for fixed-bed validation and field tests.

6Working together

From your requirement to a demonstration.

Every stage starts from your stream and your conditions.

  1. 1

    Needs analysis

    We start with your stream, conditions and product requirements.

  2. 2

    Material development

    We select or develop an adsorbent and characterise it.

  3. 3

    Testing and validation

    Performance tests confirm the material against your requirements.

  4. 4

    Pilot and demonstration

    Scale-up and customer demonstrations prepare it for real use.
