Abstract
The adsorptive removal of ibuprofen, one of the most frequently detected pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPS), from aqueous solutions was studied by using the highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF) MIL-101 and a modified MIL-101 called MIL-101-OH. Adsorption results showed that MIL-101-OH which contains H-donor modified/functional group such as –OH, which was very effective for ibuprofen adsorption. On the contrary, the performance of MIL-101 was poor compare to the adsorption result of MIL-101-OH. The adsorbent with the highest adsorption capacity, MIL-101-OH, was very competitive when compared with pristine MIL-101. The effect of pH on the adsorption of ibuprofen also supports this interaction. Moreover, the MIL-101-OH could be recycled several times by simply washing with ethanol and reusable up to at least the third run with little change in the performance along with a high adsorption capacity and repaid adsorption.
