“…In the last two decades, attention has been drawn to an innovative class of porous materials, known as metal organic frameworks (MOFs). These compounds have been first synthesized by Yaghi et al (1995) and investigated for numerous applications in wastewater treatment (Hasan et al, 2012;Seo et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2016;Akpinar and Yazaydin, 2017;Martinez-Costa et al, 2018;Daliran et al, 2020;Hu et al, 2020), gas purification (Trickett et al, 2017), light capture and energy conversion (Kreno et al, 2012), separation processes (Yaghi et al, 2019), drug delivery (Rojas et al, 2019), and catalysis (Dhakshinamoorthy et al, 2019;Yang and Gates, 2019;Wang Z. et al, 2020). The structure of MOFs consists of metal centers and organic linkers to form infinite crystalline networks (Butova et al, 2016;Yang and Gates, 2019).…”

The growing accumulation of emerging contaminants in the environment can cause direct and indirect water pollution that puts human lives at risk. The fact that these contaminants are not or cannot be eliminated from the municipal water utilities, poses a significant concern. Researchers are currently pulling massive attention to improve existing technologies, develop new strategies, and provide environmentally durable solutions to mitigate water contamination problems. Adsorption and photodegradation are two of the most sustainable technologies that are used in water purification. These technologies have many advantages because of the economic, simple, and easily operated designs needed to treat wastewater. Within these applications, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are playing a significant role as novel class of porous materials characterized by a crystalline structure. MOFs are considered good candidates to be employed in wastewater treatment technologies because of the tunability of their features. The scope of this review article is to provide a comprehensive description of the recent studies published in the literature about the adsorptive and photocatalytic use of MOFs for the removal of organic emerging contaminants from wastewater. Furthermore, this study briefly highlights the synthesis technologies of MOFs. Finally, future perspective and challenges associated with MOF large-scale production are discussed.
