Abstract
Recently, bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained
significant attention for their potential in treating industrial wastewater. The rapid increase in
industrialization worldwide has resulted in the continual discharge of organic dyes in aquatic
ecosystems. These dyes disrupt aquatic ecosystems and are hazardous for human beings. Thus, there
is a considerable demand to design a framework for the removal of contaminants from wastewater.
For this purpose, this study focuses on synthesizing BM-MOF@PC and investigating its efficacy in
removing methyl orange (MO) and congo red (CR).
A novel, low-cost, eco-friendly Zn and Co-based bimetallic MOF (BM-MOF) modified
polyaniline and cellulose acetate (PC) were synthesized based on electrospun (BM-MOF@PC)
nanofibers. The prepared BM-MOF@PC was characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, and N2
adsorption-desorption isotherm. The smooth formation of BM-MOF@PC nanofibers generates high
adsorption capability by exposing the maximal active site for the adsorption at the entire surface. The
adsorption capability of synthesized BM-MOF@PC nanofibers was evaluated against MO and CR
dyes from an aqueous phase.
The maximum adsorption capacity of MO and CR at the surface of BM-MOF@PC
nanofibers were 636.9 and 313.05 mg/g, respectively. Several adsorption parameters, including
initial dye concentration, contact time, temperature, the adsorbent's doses, and pH's effect on
adsorption kinetics, were investigated. The ability of BM-MOF@PC nanofibers to adsorb MO and
CR at various pHs indicated that several attraction forces, including electrostatic interaction,
hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions, could be involved in the dye removal.
The fabricated material BM-MOF@PC nanofibers have a large surface area compared
to BM-MOF, which indicates the more active sites for the adsorption of MO and CR dyes. Moreover,
the BM-MOF@PC nanofibers demonstrated robust reusability towards MO and CR adsorption
across five cycles, which suggested that our fabricated material is more stable and economically
reliable in real-time applications.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
