Abstract:The mechanisms and effectiveness of using zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF‐8) [a sub‐family of metal‐organic framework (MOF)] particles on hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] removal were evaluated. The ultrasonic mixing method was applied for the preparation of ZIF‐8, and chemicals used for ZIF‐8 synthesis included ammonium hydroxide, zinc nitrate hexahydrate, and 2‐methylimidazole. ZIF‐8 particle had a clear rhombic dodecahedron morphology shape and a strong peak intensity with high crystallinity. The adsorption… Show more
“…Recently, the adsorption of Cr(VI) on ZIFs has been widely investigated under different conditions. [213][214][215][216][217] The removal of Cr(VI) decreased somewhat with the increase in pH from 7.0 to 9.0 due to the competitive adsorption of CrO 4 − and OH − at Environmental Science: Nano Tutorial review high pH values. However, the relatively poor dispersion and difficulty in the separation of single ZIFs limit their regeneration and reusability in aqueous solutions as they easily aggregate together.…”
As one of porous metal-organic frameworks, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are typical crystalline materials with tetrahedral clusters (e.g., ZnN4 and CoN4) linked by imidazolate ligands. Due to the facile synthesis,...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
