Fabrication of metal-organic frameworks with trimesic linkers for europium adsorption and recovery from aqueous solutions
Abstract
This work reports on the effective sequestration of Eu(III) ions from aqueous solutions using three types of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed from benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3BTC) linker and Ca2+, Cu2+, or Al3+ metal nodes. The MOFs possessed an exceptionally high Eu adsorption capacity of 635 (91% removal), 642 (92% removal), and 628 mg g−1 (90% removal) for Cu-BTC, Ca-BTC, and Al-BTC, respectively, at pH 7 for an initial Eu …
