Overview

Screening of MOF/polymer composites shows improved chromium removal in acidic water, suggesting effective chemical separation methods.

Key Points

  • Removal capacity reached 106 mg/g for Fe-BTC/PS at pH 3, surpassing the bare MOF's 9.8 mg/g.
  • The combination of adsorption and reduction mechanisms drives Cr(VI) extraction via the porous structure and redox polymer.
  • Integration into acid-stable Cr/Zr-MOFs improved chromium removal in more acidic environments, enhancing efficiency.
  • The Fe-BTC/PS composite reduced chromium levels in real river water samples to below WHO guidelines, showcasing practical application.
