Abstract

In areas of the world that are plagued by water problems, it is essential to recycle and reuse water. Therefore, wastewater treatment is vital to gain the purity required for various uses including from traditional irrigation to drinking water. The present review article examines several studies about utilizing metal-organic frameworks for the adsorption removal and photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes as water pollutants. Resistant organic pollutants include organic compounds released to industrial, domestic, and agricultural effluents. The adsorption removal and photocatalytic degradation of resistant organic pollutants in water have emerged as cost-effective technologies that attracted much attention for wastewater treatment. The high porosity as well as the catalytic nature of the metal-organic frameworks that are effective in the adsorption and degradation processes, respectively, have led to their attractiveness.
