Latest Patents

Arafat’s listed patents focus on chemical fixation of carbon dioxide using epoxides and aromatic amines.

- **Nickel-Based Metal-Organic Framework as Catalyst for Chemical Fixation of CO₂ in Oxazolidinone Synthesis.** This method combines a nickel-based metal-organic framework catalyst, a cocatalyst, an aromatic amine, and one or more epoxides. A carbon-dioxide-containing gas stream is introduced to form a substituted oxazolidinone mixture. The method also describes recovering, washing, and drying the catalyst for reuse.

- **Method of Fixating Carbon Dioxide to Substituted Oxazolidinones.** This method uses a metal-organic framework, a cocatalyst, a para-substituted aromatic amine, and an epoxide. Contact with carbon dioxide produces a substituted oxazolidinone mixture. The described framework is a UiO-66-X MOF with specified allyloxy substituents.
