Removal of anthracene in water by MIL-88(Fe), NH₂-MIL-88(Fe), and mixed-MIL-88(Fe) metal-organic frameworks.

ABSTRACT: Three adsorbents based on the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), viz.; MIL-88(Fe), NH₂-MIL-88(Fe), and mixed-MIL-88(Fe) were synthesized using a microwave-assisted solvothermal technique. The as-synthesized MOFs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), field emission scanning microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The MOFs were shown to possess highly crystalline and porous structures with specific surface areas of 1240, 941, and 1025 m² g^-1 and pore volumes of 0.7, 0.6 and 0.6 m³ g^-1 for MIL-88(Fe), NH₂-MIL-88(Fe) and mixed-MIL-88(Fe), respectively.
