Recent progress of metal organic frameworks-derived composites in adsorptive removal of pharmaceuticals

Zn(II) Three-Dimensional Metal-Organic Frameworks Based on 2,5-Diiodoterephthalate and N,N Linkers: Structures and Features of Sorption Behavior

“…There are numerous application areas which make MOFs especially attractive for further in-depth studies. Those include (but are not limited to) separation of diverse organic substrates [5], including industrially important ones (in particular, cyclohexane/benzene) [6][7][8][9], catalysis (including photocatalysis) [10][11][12][13][14][15], sensor systems [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], removal or important inorganic pollutants [26][27][28][29][30][31], etc. Most of these features are due to the ability of MOF to act as sorbents: those having 3D structure can absorb various substrates into the pores.…”

Synthesis of innovative and sustainable gelatin@graphene oxide-crosslinked-zirconium silicate@gelatin nanobiosorbent for effective biosorption of basic fuchsin dye

“…Water pollution is generally caused by dumbing wastewater containing a great number pollutants from different origins including solid and liquid objects 3 , chemical and biological pollutants 4 , toxic heavy metals and radioactive isotopes 5 organic and inorganic materials 6 , as well as other types of contamination 7 . Contamination of water with organic pollutants may be produced from humic substances 8 , phenolic derivatives 9 , petroleum wastes 10 , surfactants 11 , pesticides 12 , fertilizers 13 , pharmaceuticals 14 and dyes as well as other organic contaminants 15 . Due to the high annual world production of dye stuffs (about 1,000,000 tons) for the sake of application in a number of important industrial fields as cosmetic, tanneries, textile, food and medicinal sectors, a great amount of contaminated wastewater dyes are generally dumped without prior treatment in water stream 16 .…”

Conversion of bare corn cobs waste into sustainable and ecofriendly nanobiosorbent for effective removal of cationic basic fuchsin and methylene blue dyes from water

“…Due to their porous structures and significant surface functional groups, biochars have attracted great attention worldwide for solving the environmental problems as soil management [10], carbon sequestration [11], and water decontamination, purification and remediation from various pollutants [12] including toxic heavy metal cations and anions [13,14], pharmaceuticals [15,16], and dyes [17][18][19][20]. Excessive amounts of organic pollutants are daily generated from various sources as industrial effluents and other domestic activities [21]. One of the most impacting contaminants to water pollution is mainly correlated to dyes and coloring materials [22].…”
