A novel 3D hexagonal honeycomb Zn-MOF for effective detection of Fe3+, CrO42-, and Cr2O72- and selective dye adsorption in aqueous media

Highly enhanced cationic dye adsorption from water by nitro-functionalized Zn-MOF nano/microparticles and a biomolecular binder for improving the reusability

“…[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] The high surface area and tunable porosity with tailorable functionality of MOFs are highly desired for adsorption of dyes from water. [34][35][36][37][38] Ethylenediamine-grafted MIL-101 exhibited higher MO dye adsorption compared to the MIL-53 MOF due to the increased electrostatic interactions between methyl orange (MO) and the adsorbent. 39 Fe-terephthalate MOFs exhibited strong anionic MO and cationic MB adsorption.…”
