Effective removal of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), an emerging agrochemical contaminant in water with carcinogenic and mutagenic health effects has been reported using hydrothermally synthesized MIL-101(Cr) metal-organic framework (MOF). The properties of the MOF were ascertained using powdered X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and surface area and porosimetry (SAP). The BET surface area and pore volume of the MOF were 1439 m 2 g −1 and 0.77 cm 3 g −1 , respectively. Artificial neural network (ANN) model was significantly employed for the accurate prediction of the experimental adsorption capacity ( q e ) values with minimal error. A rapid removal of the pollutant (99%) was recorded within short time (approx. 25 min), and the reusability of the MOF (20 mg) was achieved up to six cycles with over 90% removal efficiency. The kinetics, isotherm and thermodynamics of the process were described by the pseudo-second-order, Freundlich and endothermic adsorption, respectively. The adsorption process is spontaneous based on the negative Gibbs free energy values. The significant correlation between the experimental findings and simulation results suggests the great potential of MIL-101(Cr) for the remediation of MCPA from water matrices.

Composite metal–organic frameworks combine large and accessible surface areas with low density and high stability. Herein, we present novel nanocomposites of polypyrrole/aluminum fumarate metal–organic framework (PPy/AlFu MOF), which were synthesized via in situ oxidative polymerization with the aim of MOF functionalization to enhance its thermal stability and increase the specific surface area so that these nanocomposites may be used as potential adsorbents. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by various techniques, such as powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The successful functionalization of aluminum fumarate MOF was confirmed by FTIR, and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of the PPy/MOF nanocomposite slightly increased from 795 to 809 m2/g. Thermogravimetric analysis data also show that the weight loss of the composite is up to 30% at temperatures up to 500 ℃. Remarkably, lead (50 ppm) sequestration using the composite was tested, and the atomic absorption spectrometry data demonstrate that PPy/MOF is a super-adsorbent for heavy metal ions. This work shows that the novel polymer–MOF composites are promising materials for the selective removal of lead from wastewater streams.

The most important environmental challenge that the world is facing today is the control of the quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere, because it causes global warming. Increase in the global temperature results in greenhouse gas emission, interruption of the volcanic activity, and climatic changes. The alarming rise of the CO2 level impels to take some serious action to control these climatic changes. Various techniques are being utilized to capture CO2. However, chemical absorption and adsorption are supposed to be the most suitable techniques for post-combustion CO2 capture, but the main focus is on adsorption. The aim of this study is to provide a brief overview on the CO2 adsorption by a novel class of adsorbents called the metal–organic framework. The metal–organic framework is a porous material having high surface area with high CO2 adsorption capacity. The metal–organic frameworks possess dynamic structure and have large capacity to adsorb CO2 at either low pressure or high pressure due to its cavity size and surface area. Adsorption of CO2 in the metal–organic framework at various pressures depends upon pore volume and heat of adsorption correspondingly. In this review, different synthesis methods of the metal–organic framework such as slow evaporation, solvo thermal, mechanochemical, electrochemical, sonochemical, and microwave-assisted synthesis are briefly described as the structure of the metal–organic frameworks are mostly dependent upon synthesis techniques. In addition to this, different strategies are discussed to increase the CO2 adsorption capacity in the metal organic-framework. [Formula: see text]

In this study, Ca-based multi-metals metal-organic framework (CaMgAl-MOF) has been designed as precursor material for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture to enhance the CO2 capture capacity and stability during multiple carbonation-calcination cycles. The CaMgAl-MOFs were constructed from self-assembly of metal ions and organic ligands through hydrothermal process to make metal ions uniformly distributed through the whole structure. Upon heat treatment at 600 °C, the Ca-based multi-metals CaMgAl-MOF would gradually transform to CaO and MgO nanoparticles along with the amorphous aluminum oxide distributed in the CaO matrix. XRD, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and SEM were used to identify the structure and characterize the morphology. The CO2 capture capacity and multiple carbonation-calcination cyclic tests of calcined Ca-based metal-organic framework (MOF) (attached with O and indicated as Ca-MOF-O) were performed by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The single metal component calcined Ca-MOF sorbent have the highest CO2 capture capacity up to 72 wt.%, but a lower stability of 61% due to severe particle aggregation. In contrast, a higher Ca-rich MOF oxide sorbent with tailoring the Mg/Al ratios, Ca0.97Mg0.025Al0.005-MOF-O, showed the best performance, not only having the high stability of ~97%, but also maintaining the highest capacity of 71 wt.%. The concept of using Ca-based MOF materials combined with mixed-metal ions for CO2 capture showed a potential route for achieving efficient multiple carbonation-calcination CO2 cycles.

The solvothermal reaction of 2-nitro-[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid (H2bpdcNO2) with Zn(NO3)2·6H2O in DMF solvent does not give a functionalised variant of IRMOF-9. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows the major initial product of this reaction, WUF-21 (WUF=Wollongong University Framework), is a porous interpenetrated diamondoid metal–organic framework (MOF) with a secondary building unit that ‘doubly straps’ eight bridging bpdcNO2 ligands in a distorted tetrahedral shape around an unusual pentazinc core. A second porous MOF phase (WUF-23) containing a large and novel dodecazinc secondary building unit forms in the same reaction and eventually predominates in solutions containing formate anion, which arises from the hydrolysis of DMF. Doping the starting ligand with [1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid (H2bpdc) provides a facile way to grow nitro-functionalised IRMOF-9, hereafter denoted as WUF-22, where the dopant is carried through into the product. Activated WUF-22 is a microporous solid with an apparent Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of 2497m2g−1, which matches well with geometric surface area calculations. The CO2 adsorption properties of WUF-22 are reported.
