- Abstract
The modified metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocomposites were fabricated using the various facile preparation methods including co-precipitation, hydrothermal, solvothermal for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) ions in the batch process. The modification of the MOFs nanocomposites was carried out using boehmite as a low cost material. The characterization tests comprising XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM and BET were also performed to recognize the physico-chemical properties of the prepared adsorbents. The well dispersed samples synthesized by hydrothermal method with more surface area (about 560 m2/g) with octahedral and cubic morphology (with size less than 50 nm) compared to the other nanocomposites had a better performance in adsorption of dye pollutant. The maximum adsorption capacity was measured for the prepared BTC-MOF sample to be about 250 mg/g in comparison with the other samples by employing linearized Langmuir equation. The good matching between the pseudo second order kinetic and experimental data showed the strong electrostatic adsorption in the present work. Thermodynamic parameters including Gibbs free energy (ΔG0), entropy (ΔS0), and enthalpy (ΔH0) were studied for the adsorption of MB on the Cu-BTC@Bo.H sample at the different temperatures. Reusing adsorbent in adsorption of MB ions in the seven consecutive cycles indicated that the investigated nanocomposites can be employed on an industrial scale. [Display omitted] • Modified MOFs were fabricated by co-precipitation, hydrothermal, solvothermal. • Nanocomposites were modified by boehmite. • Maximum adsorption capacity was calculated to be 250 mg/g for removal of MB. • Langmuir and pseudo second equations were matched by data. • MOFs were prepared with size less than 50 nm with high dispersion. • Proper regeneration of Cu-BTC@Bo.H was investigated for adsorption of MB in seven cycles.
