Effect of Metal Atom in Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIF-8 & 67) for Removal of Dyes and Antibiotics from Wastewater: A Review

The use of antibiotics and dyes has resulted in severe water pollution health risks; therefore, it is urgent to remove them from sources. Among the most common methods for removing harmful contaminants, adsorption photodegradation are economical, simple, reusable. Due their high porosity, adjustability, crystal structure, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) one effective adsorbents photocatalysts. A typical MOF material zeolitic imidazolate framework-8/67 (ZIF-8 ZIF-67), comprising essentially metal atoms Zn 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM). ZIF-8 ZIF-67 have unique properties that make efficient treatment due capacities being good hosts photocatalytic materials. In this article, a review study design synthesis composites presented. An introduction current research on role compounds as photocatalysts wastewater removal provided. study, we aim supply mechanistic perspective ZIF-8/67 purification present novel visions development extremely ZIF-8/67-based To unlock full potential dye antibiotic recycling, difficulties will be discussed detail.
