Comparative removal of hazardous cationic dyes by MOF-5 and modified graphene oxide.

ABSTRACT: Among cationic dyes, malachite green (MG) is commonly used for dying purposes and also as an inhibitor in aquaculture, food, health, and chemical industries due to its cytotoxic effects. Therefore, MG removal is essential to keep the ecosystem and human health safety. Adsorption is a viable and versatile option and exploring efficient adsorbents have high priority. Herein, MOF-5 and aminated corn Stover reduced graphene oxide (ACS-RGO) of typical adsorbents of metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) and carbon-based classes were studied for MG removal. MOF-5 and ACS-RGO had a specific surface area and total pore volume of 507.4 and 389.0 m²/g, and 0.271 cm³/g and 0.273 cm³/g, respectively. ACS-RGO was superior for MG adsorption and the kinetic rate coefficient for
