Metal Organic Frameworks As an Adsorbent For Water Contaminants

With two billion people worldwide lacking access to clean and safe drinking water, new research may offer a breakthrough solution. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a next-generation material with the largest internal surface area of any known substance, can be used to capture, store and release chemical compounds.In this paper we try to introduce several methods for preparing MOFs and usage of these materials for water purification.
