Abstract

Water pollution by pharmaceutical and dye pollutants poses significant environmental challenges and increases the need
Water pollution by pharmaceutical and dye pollutants poses significant environmental challenges and increases the need for efficient and cost-effective treatment technologies. This review examines water purification methods with a focus on adsorption and photocatalysis as highly effective and economical techniques. Iron-based metal-organic frameworks and their composites are then introduced as efficient materials with detailed insights into their synthesis, activation, and functionalization methods. Examples of the synthesis of iron-based metal-organic framework composites and their applications in the removal of pharmaceutical and dye pollutants are also presented, and the performance and kinetics of MOF composites in the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of dyes and pharmaceutical pollutants are reviewed. This work highlights the potential of iron-based metal-organic framework composites as sustainable, non-toxic, and efficient materials for water purification and paves the way for further innovations.
