Abstract

Environment safety is a primary concern worldwide that has attracted the attention of various people worldwide. Water and food get contaminated due to various reasons. Therefore, removing these toxicants from environmental samples is vital to ensure public health safety. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) combine metal ions with organic ligands and have various physical and chemical properties making them a promising material for removing toxicants from environmental samples. This review explains MOF's structural properties and the use of MOFs in removing pesticides, heavy metal ions, and drugs are illustrated by the recent progress. Following that, Adsorption Isotherm and Kinetics and forces between adsorbate and adsorbent are presented. Finally, future perspectives and challenges faced by MOFs are also discussed. The purpose of this review is a further development in MOF chemistry and the application of MOFs in the field of toxicants removal from the environment and food to get a novel solution. Thus, this study discusses the MOFs and their composites removal applications for toxicants with mechanistic, interactions, kinetic, and isotherms insightfulness that will benefit the researchers working on designing new hybrid coordination materials for separation and purification applications.
