Adsorption heat transformers (AdsHT) provide a viable solution by converting waste heat into higher-temperature heat streams exceeding 120 °C through reversible adsorption–desorption cycles. In this study, the thermodynamic performance of an AdsHT system was assessed using two post-synthetically modified MOF-808 materials, MOF-808NDS and MOF-808PDS, as adsorbents for water vapor. A statistical physics approach based on the grand canonical ensemble was applied to investigate the adsorption mechanism and to determine the key energetic and structural parameters governing the process. The modeling results reveal that water adsorption on both materials can be described by a monolayer model involving two distinct adsorption energy levels. Stereographic analysis suggests that water molecules interact with the adsorption sites mainly in a non-parallel orientation. The calculated adsorption energies, lower than 40 kJ mol⁻¹, indicate that the process is dominated by weak physical interactions such as hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. Furthermore, pore size distribution analysis confirms the microporous structure of the studied frameworks. The thermodynamic analysis of the adsorption cycle shows coefficients of performance (COP<sub>GCSP</sub>) of 0.764 for MOF-808NDS and 0.826 for MOF-808PDS, highlighting the superior efficiency of MOF-808PDS due to its higher water uptake and favorable pore characteristics. These findings demonstrate that functionalized MOF-808 materials are promising candidates for enhancing the performance of adsorption heat transformer systems dedicated to sustainable thermal energy utilization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":458,"journal":{"name":"Adsorption","volume":"32 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148349840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nonfunctionalized adsorbent (Amberlite XAD-4) was selected and used in the fixed-bed experiments, to determine single- and multicomponent breakthrough curves. In a multicomponent system, adsorption capacities ranged from 0.125 mmol·g<sub>ads</sub><sup>−1</sup> for acetic acid to 1.564 mmol·g<sub>ads</sub><sup>−1</sup> for hexanoic acid, highlighting significant differences in affinity among VFA.

While laboratory and device-scale models of moisture swing adsorption exist, there is currently a lack of parsimonious frameworks that translate long-term weather variability into site-level productivity and water-loss metrics for screening and deployment decisions. In this study, we develop a reduced-order, meteorology-driven process model for a moisture swing passive DAC system that maps ambient temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed directly to CO<sub>2</sub> productivity and net water loss. The model employs decoupled proxy equilibria, a modified Langmuir isotherm for CO<sub>2</sub> loading and a Flory–Huggins model for H<sub>2</sub>O loading, closed with linear-driving-force kinetics parameterized by ambient wind speed and temperature. Using 17 years of NOAA weather data for St. Johns, Arizona, we quantify climatological seasonal variability and the impact of interannual weather fluctuations. Results show that relative humidity is the dominant driver of both CO<sub>2</sub> productivity and water loss. Low-humidity conditions enable higher productivity at the cost of increased net water loss, whereas periods of sustained high ambient humidity can preclude capture entirely. Notably, we identify distinct wintertime intervals during which the equilibrium CO<sub>₂</sub> loading under ambient conditions falls below the regenerated state, resulting in zero net capture despite continued cycling. This finding highlights a minimum required swing capacity and establishes a fundamental climatic constraint on passive DAC operability. By explicitly linking meteorology to CO<sub>2</sub> productivity and water loss, this work provides a screening-level framework for geospatial site triage and operational planning of moisture-swing passive DAC systems, with results interpreted as bounded performance estimates rather than device-specific predictions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":458,"journal":{"name":"Adsorption","volume":"32 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148009552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
