6 Removal of heavy metals using ZIF 8
-
Muhammad Pervaiz
Abstract
Clean water dictate is growing every day as a consequence of the rapid industrial evolution and population growth. However, due to an insufficient supply of new water sources, there is a requirement for successful, satisfactory wastewater recycling. Many treatment techniques use the reverse osmosis method. Coagulation precipitation and ion exchange methods have been extensively tested, with the ion exchange method being considered the most efficient method. Nevertheless, the existence of heavy metal ions that are non-recyclable, restricts the usage of efficient methods. In this chapter, we evaluate the water-stable metal organic-based framework MOFs, the Zeolite-based imidazolate framework (ZIF-8), associated with the uncomplicated synthesis method for the removal of heavy metals. In this chapter, we discuss the mechanism of heavy metal removal and the factors that influence the percentage efficiency. Applications of ZIF-8-based composites, including drug delivery, catalyst, and electronic devices, are also discussed in detail.
