The invention claimed is: 1. A process for the preparation of a shaped body containing a metal-organic framework material (MOF) comprising the step of converting a MOF containing powder into the shaped body, wherein the ratio of the surface area per volume of the shaped body to the surface area per volume of the powder is at least 1.6 :1. 2. The process according to claim 1, wherein the ratio is at least 1.7:1. 3. The process according to claim 1, wherein the step of converting comprises a molding step. 4. The process according to claim 3, wherein the molding step comprises pressing or extruding of the MOF containing powder. 5. The process according to claim 1, wherein the shaped body additionally comprises a binder. 6. The process according to claim 1, wherein the surface area is determined by the BET method. 7. The process according to claim 1, wherein the ratio of the surface area per volume of the shaped body to the surface area per volume of the powder is at least 1.8:1. 8. The process according to claim 1, wherein the ratio of the surface area per volume of the shaped body to the surface area per volume of the powder is from 2.5:1 to 5:1 wherein the surface area is measured according to the BET method. 9. The process according to claim 1, wherein the step of converting forms a shaped body having length, width and depth dimensions of from 1 mm to 16 mm. 10. The process of claim 9, wherein the ratio of the surface area per volume of the shaped body to the surface area per volume of the powder after the converting step is at least 1.7:1. 11. The process according to claim 1, wherein the converting is carried out by first mixing the MOF containing powder with a liquid to form a moldable paste, then molding the moldable paste into the form of the shaped body, then drying the shaped body. 12. The process according to claim 1, wherein the converting is at least one of briquetting, granulating, pelletizing, and sintering. 13. The process according to claim 1, wherein the converting comprises pressing the MOF containing powder at a pressure up to 100 bar and a temperature up to 300° C. 14. The process according to claim 1, wherein the converting is carried out to form a shaped body having a crush strength of 13-50.5 N and a BET surface area of from 424 to 1270m2/g according to DIN 66131.
