Abstract

Water pollution caused by the increasing concentration of toxic chemicals, such as heavy metal ions, pesticides, pharmaceutical waste, and plastic contaminants, has become a global issue. The rising levels of these pollutants pose significant health risks to humans and various species. Recently, adsorption has emerged as a promising method for removing these contaminants. This review focuses on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as adsorbents, highlighting their large surface areas and adjustable porosity, which optimize the adsorption process. The review analyzes the active sites within MOFs, their roles in adsorption mechanisms, and the underlying chemistry involved. It also discusses the structural chemistry of MOFs and its impact on pollutant removal efficiency. Furthermore, the review addresses stability, scalability, and economic feasibility challenges. Finally, it suggests future research directions for next-generation MOF materials to enhance their effectiveness in sustainable environmental remediation, ultimately improving our ability to combat contamination issues and protect healthy ecosystems.

战术金属有机框架（MOFs）吸附剂在去除应用中的优势。

重金属离子、农药、医药废弃物和塑料污染物等有毒化学物质浓度的增加造成的水污染已成为一个全球性问题。这些污染物水平的上升对人类和各种物种构成了重大的健康风险。最近，吸附已成为一种很有前途的去除这些污染物的方法。本文综述了金属有机骨架（MOFs）作为吸附剂的研究进展，重点介绍了它们的大表面积和可调节的孔隙率，从而优化了吸附过程。本文分析了mof内的活性位点、它们在吸附机理中的作用以及所涉及的化学作用。讨论了mof的结构化学性质及其对污染物去除效率的影响。此外，本文还讨论了稳定性、可扩展性和经济可行性方面的挑战。最后，提出了下一代MOF材料未来的研究方向，以增强其在可持续环境修复中的有效性，最终提高我们对抗污染问题和保护健康生态系统的能力。
