Preparation and Adsorption Behavior of Ce(III)-MOF for Phosphate and Fluoride Ion Removal from Aqueous Solutions.

ABSTRACT: The discharge of inorganic pollutants like phosphate and fluoride is a cause of mounting concern to the world due to the substantial environmental and human health risk. Adsorption is one of the most common and affordable technologies widely utilized for removing inorganic pollutants such as phosphate and fluoride anions. Investigating efficient sorbents for the adsorption of these pollutants is extremely important and challenging. This work aimed at studying the adsorption efficiency of the Ce(III)-BDC metal-organic framework (MOF) for the removal of these anions from an aqueous solution using a batch mode. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-
