Multifunctional porphyrinic Zr-MOF composite membrane for high-performance oil-in-water separation and organic dye adsorption/photocatalysis

Porphyrin-based MOFs for photocatalysis in water: advancements in solar fuels generation and pollutants degradation

“…The membrane was tested for oil-in-water separation and MB/RhB adsorption/photocatalytic degradation. 132 This membrane exhibits a high separation efficiency of above 99% for a series of oil-in-water emulsions, as well as adsorption efficiencies above 98.5 and 99.4% for MB and RhB in the concentration range of 10 to 50 ppm, respectively. Under a 300 W Xe lamp irradiation, a degradation rate of 95.6% for MB was observed in 60 minutes, and no significant decrease in photocatalytic activity was found after five cycles.…”

Recent progress in 2D and 3D metal–organic framework-based membranes for water sustainability

“…However, the mechanism of the formation of these membrane composites is still intermediate and is not fully understood; thus, additional research is needed. 209 In addition, MOF-containing membranes are superior to other conventional membranes in terms of selectivity, permeability, stability and flux. Indeed, the inherent advantages of MOF membranes, including their exceptional selectivity, permeability, and chemical stability, render them highly appealing options for a wide range of separation processes.…”

Highlights in Interface of Wastewater Treatment by Utilizing Metal Organic Frameworks: Purification and Adsorption Kinetics

“…Pollutant removal from wastewater is an essential aspect of water treatment. Pollutants can be removed from the aqueous environment using various functional materials, including various processes such as membrane filtration, chemical precipitation, ion exchange, and adsorption . MOFs exhibit specific characteristics, such as functionality, crystallinity, and porosity, which particularly enhance the removal of water pollutants.…”
