Abstract

The development of green technologies for the manufacture of various materials is considered as one of the approaches to address some of the environmental issues of commercializing new materials. A mechanochemical (MC) method is developed to synthesize crystalline porous material-5 (CPM-5). The effect of different mechanical parameters, including oscillation frequency and time and the number of metal balls used for milling is studied. Results revealed that CPM-5 crystals are successfully formed under optimized conditions. It was noted that the thermal treatment of the samples after grinding is very crucial for the formation of CPM-5 under the studied conditions. Moreover, washing of samples with a 1:1 solution of dimethylformamide (DMF):H2O remarkably enhanced the surface area of the final product.
