Utilization of ZIF based nanomaterials for clean environment purposes

Abstract

The ZIF and the plethora of nanocomposites of varying types of it are capable to the protection of the natural environment. By utilizing several processes known as adsorption, photocatalysis, oxidation, antibacterial activity, ZIF can be utilized in fuel purification, removal of heavy metal from water, managing nuclear waste, desulfarizations, adsorption of different toxic gases, and dye degradation. For these, ZIFs become important in the case of cleaning environment. By using adsorption, these have the capacity to separate gases from environment that are toxic. By oxidation, ZIF can do oxidative desulfarizations, which make ZIF efficient in cleaning environment by removing sulfur. ZIF can degrade dyes through photocatalysis which is useful in industrial water purification. As ZIFs are hydrophobic, removing halogens and rhodamine B from water is possible by utilizing ZIFs. The use of ZIF-based nanomaterials in clean environment purposes is the principal focus of our research.
