Augmentation of Neodymium Ions Removal from Water Using Two Lanthanides-Based MOF: Ameliorated Efficiency by Synergistic Interaction of Two Lanthanides

Abstract

To overcome the shortage of freshwater resources and provide clean water for worldwide population, along with the elimination or reduction of water contamination, we have synthesized the mixed-lanthanide metal–organic framework (MOF) with the formula m(x)M(1–x)BTC­(DMF) {m = Ce­(III), M = La­(III), x = 0.8} via the solvothermal technique to separate Nd ions from water. The cooperative interaction between La­(III) and Ce­(III) has intensified the nonlinear properties of Ce0.8La0.2BTC­(DMF) resulting in the high interaction between fabricated MOF and Nd ions. The as-prepared MOF was considered for various structural analyses and experimental conditions. Significantly, over 80% of Nd ions have been removed within 5 min and the maximum Nd uptake capacity (q max) determined by the Langmuir isotherm was 142.8 mg/g.

AgNPs-Containing Metal–Organic Frameworks for the Effective Adsorption and Immobilization of Radioactive Iodine

“…As a new kind of solid adsorbent, porous MOFs, composed of organic ligands and metal ions or clusters, have been widely applied for the removal of harmful substances and environmental remediation, thanks to their adjustable pore size, tailorable structure, as well as designable adsorption sites. − Recently, MOFs have also been successfully utilized to remove radioactive I 2 . Unfortunately, the adsorption capacities in the reported MOFs are relatively low due to the weak interaction between the original frameworks and I 2 . − Therefore, it is desirable to design and develop MOF materials with high I 2 adsorption capacity.…”

Novel Nanostructured Metal–Organic Framework-Bonded Silica Amine and Polymer: Facile Synthesis, Kinetics, Isotherms, and Thermodynamics Evaluation for Adsorption of Yttrium(III) Ions

“…Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an important class of compounds with superior applications in different fields. − These compounds are highly appreciated because of various synthetic approaches under mild conditions of the target-organized pore structures with high yields. In addition, good thermal stability, large surface area, and enormous range of functional groups due to the variation in functionalities, lengths, and dimensions of the ligands have also directed the increasing interests in using MOFs, as an important class of microporous solids to eliminate pollutants from water. , Therefore, various applications of MOFs have been recently reported in the adsorption and separation fields of different species, sensing, catalysis, gas storage, and drug delivery . Some of the MOF derivatives were reported as good absorbers of large molecules such as vitamin B12, myoglobin, and green fluorescent protein within their pores because of their suitable pore size and permanent porosity .…”
