A major challenge in Cyclic Swing Separation using flexible adsorbents that have high equilibrium CO2  adsorption capacity is their very low-pressure hysteresis that hinders efficient desorption. Mg-Gallate MOF is such a flexible adsorbent that only begins to release CO2 at its pore closing pressure at 0.08 bar and 30 °C, showing very slow and inefficient desorption in pressure or temperature swing. Therefore, a novel strategy is presented that combines state of art technique Magnetic Induction Heating with a vacuum swing for fast and efficient CO2 desorption from flexible adsorbents at a moderately elevated temperature (70 °C).
