Abstract:

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of periodical porous crystalline materials. They are built from organic heterocyclic compounds as ligands and transition metal ions as center via coordination interaction. Compared with other porous materials, MOFs possess a great variety of ligands, extraordinary surface areas, tunable pore sizes and special metal sites (saturated or unsaturated), which makes them many potential applications in analytical chemistry. Recent years, functionalized MOFs have drawn a growing interest in enrichment and removal of pollutants. The functionalized MOFs can promote the adsorption capacities through changing MOFs' physicochemical properties (such as pore sizes and electric charges on the surface, etc.). This review summarizes the progress in the applications of functionalized MOFs in adsorption removal of pollutants in drinking water in recent years, including the classification and harm of pollutants in drinking water, the synthesis and applications of functionalized MOFs in removal of pollutants in water, and gives the prospects in the end.

Key words: adsorption, functionalized, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), pollutants in drinking water, removal, review
