Recent Development of Metal–Organic Frameworks for Water Purification

Abstract

Water contamination is an increasing concern to mankind because of the increasing amount of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. To purify the polluted water, various techniques have been used to remove hazardous components. Unfortunately, traditional cleanup techniques with a low uptake capacity are unable to achieve water purification. Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently shown potential in effective water pollutant isolation in terms of selectivity and adsorption capacity over traditional porous materials. The high surface area and versatile functionality of MOFs allow for the development of new adsorbents. The development of MOFs in a range of water treatments in the recent five years will be highlighted in this review, along with assessments of the adsorption performance relevant to the particular task. Moreover, the outlook on future opportunities for water purification using MOFs is also provided.

Facile Fabrication of Porous Adsorbent with Multiple Amine Groups for Efficient and Selective Removal of Amaranth and Tartrazine Dyes from Water

“…The surface charge characteristics of an adsorbent play a pivotal role in its adsorption efficacy [37][38][39][40]. To assess this, the zeta potential of ARPA was measured across a pH range of 4 to 10.…”

“…Among these techniques, adsorption is emerging as the most preferred technique due to its high efficiency, eco-friendliness, and applicability to solutions with low concentrations of noble metals. Adsorption has been demonstrated to be a selective means of recovering valuable metals , or removing harmful metals from different media or wastewaters. , …”

Magnetized cubic zinc MOFs for efficient removal of hazardous cationic and anionic dyes in aqueous solutions

“… 22 MOFs used in dye removal processes to adsorb and extract dye molecules from water or wastewater. 23 Several interactions, including as hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and electrostatic forces, can be used to explain the MOFs adsorption process for dye removal. 23 Magnetic adsorbent can be easily separated from solution after adsorption process.…”
