Versatility, Cost Analysis, and Scale-up in Fluoride and Arsenic Removal Using Metal-organic Framework-based Adsorbents

Fluoride and arsenic are hazardous inorganic contaminants due to associated health risks relatively higher levels of occurrence in groundwater. Metal-organic frameworks, (MOFs) with their high surface area, versatile building blocks numerous active sites, a novel approach fluoride uptake. This review presents the different types MOFs for removal along study dynamic breakthrough times cost analysis. MOF performances based on variety synthesis methods, notable among which solvothermal one is more described. However, all research works concluded that have poor yield compared conventional adsorbents. But, adsorption capacity, tailored chemical structure ionic uptake make them favorable option than many other The usually varies between 0.1 5 US$/g depending routes.
