ABSTRACT
Herein, we demonstrate the use of cerium (Ce)-UiO-66 metal organic framework (MOF) for the removal of a variety of potentially toxic pollutants. The Ce-UiO-66 MOF, with similar framework topologies to Zr-UiO-66, has not been explored for its adsorptive properties in water remediation. The replacement of Zr metal center with Ce yields a MOF that can be synthesized in shorter durations with lesser energy consumptions and with excellent multipollutant adsorption properties. Further, the Ce-UiO-66 MOF was also studied for its adsorption abilities in the binary component system. Interestingly, the adsorbent showed higher adsorption capacities in the presence of other pollutants. Removal studies for other potentially toxic anionic and cationic dyes showed that the Ce-UiO-66 MOF has a wide range of contaminant removal abilities. Investigations of individual adsorption capacities revealed that the Ce-UiO-66 MOF has a maximum adsorption capacity of 793.7 mg/g for congo red (CR), 110 mg/g for methylene blue (MB), 66.1 mg/g for fluoride (F-), 30 mg/g for Cr6+ and 485.4 mg/g for the pharmaceutical waste diclofenac sodium (DCF). To imply the practical applications of the Ce-UiO-66 MOF we have also demonstrated an adaptable filter that could separate all the potentially toxic pollutants.
