Description
Summary:The present scholarly study was designed to synthesize ten versions of modified zirconium­based Metal Organic Frameworks (Zr-MOFs) using Secondary Building Unit (SBU) method. Zr-MOFs are considered as extended solid-state crystalline materials with high porosity, tuneable metrics, thermal stability, water stability, and organic functionality. Furthermore, the study investigates their characterization and examine their adsorption performance for wastewater treatment to remove typical commercial dyes like methylene blue and acidic methyl orange from aqueous solution.
