“…Water contamination with pesticides is becoming a serious environmental problem that endangers the safety of public health. [16][17][18][19] In drinking water and surface water, several of their decomposition intermediates that are even more harmful than their parent forms have been found in higher quantities. Therefore, pesticide removal is essential for environmental safety as well as public health.…”

“…Due to the booming global population and the accompanying food demand, the agricultural industry is exploring every opportunity to boost its production to meet the growing demand, which inevitably involves intensive applications of agricultural chemicals such as pesticides, antibiotics, antiparasitics, and diuretics. − Various groups of organic compounds such as organophosphates, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, β-lactams, and fluoroquinolones have been detected in livestock farms, wastewater effluents, and natural water systems. ,− Among them, pesticides used in croplands and antibiotics used in stock farming are two groups of agriculturally related organic pollutants that have raised considerable concerns because most of them are persistent and pose serious threats to the ecological system and human health. − …”

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as Photocatalysts for the Degradation of Agricultural Pollutants in Water

Increasing demand for food due to rapid population growth has exerted unprecedented pressure on the global agricultural industry. Agrochemicals are widely used to ensure productivity, leading to the prevalence of legacy and emerging agricultural chemicals in the environment, most of which are toxic and persistent. Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) as a group of novel photocatalytic materials with ultrahigh porosity and tunability have demonstrated high potential for efficient removal of these recalcitrant pollutants. This critical review aims to present the potential of MOF-catalyzed photodegradation of pesticides and antibiotics. Initially, the capabilities of different MOF-based composites to harvest visible light are compared. Examples include MOFs combined with bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX) and graphite oxide (GO). Mechanisms involved in MOF-induced photocatalytic processes such as electron−hole (e − /h + ) separation, generation of reactive species, and degradation pathways of representative pollutants as well as impacts of water chemistry are illustrated in detailed. Research on applying MOF-catalyzed processes is largely in progress, and many more studies with greater mechanistic evaluation are needed to fully assess the potential of such processes to depollute water.
