Fe-MOF nanoparticles as efficient adsorbent for removal of heavy metal ions by facile hydrothermally synthesis

Abstract

Fe-MOFs catalyst was prepared by simple solvothermal synthesis. The Fe-MOF was characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM and FT-IR which confirmed metal organic framework nanoparticles with Nano size reached nearly 29.4-129.9 nm. The adsorption capacities / percentages of Fe-MOF adsorbent for heavy metals as toxic pollutants from aqueous solutions were high, which indicate that Fe-MOFs nanoparticles can be used as a good adsorbent.
