|
In areas of the world that are plagued by water problems, it is essential to recycle and reuse water. Therefore, wastewater treatment is vital
to gain the purity required for various uses including from traditional irrigation to drinking water. The present review article examines
several studies about utilizing metal-organic frameworks for the adsorption removal and photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes as
water pollutants. Resistant organic pollutants include organic compounds released to industrial, domestic, and agricultural effluents. The
adsorption removal and photocatalytic degradation of resistant organic pollutants in water have emerged as cost-effective technologies
that attracted much attention for wastewater treatment. The high porosity as well as the catalytic nature of the metal-organic frameworks
that are effective in the adsorption and degradation processes, respectively, have led to their attractiveness.
