Demand on the materials, namely, zinc imidazole framework (ZIF), has increased for various applications such as catalysts and gas/molecule adsorbents. The synthesis procedure for gaining ZIF is not a new approach but analysis for the prospective large-scale production is still a great quest. Here, the present study was to evaluate the feasibility study for the production of ZIF particles. Evaluation was carried out using two types of feasibility studies, namely, engineering analysis and economic evaluation. This project was analyzed by estimating the production of ZIF in the ideal conditions and in the worst conditions, including the change of raw materials, sales, utilities, labor, and external conditions (i.e., taxes and subsidies). Engineering analysis gave information that this project has the potential for the large-scale production using available and inexpensive apparatuses. Economic analysis also showed that the project promises, in which this is confirmed by various economic parameters, as gross profit margins, internal rate returns, break even points, payback periods, and others. This study provides important information for large-scale production of ZIF particles. © 2019 University of Kuwait. All rights reserved.
