8 Future prospective of metal-organic frameworks for pharmaceutical wastes
-
Rana Rashad Mahmood Khan
Abstract
To date, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used in a variety of fields, including sensing, separation, storage, and catalysis. Pharmaceutical wastes are considered a major reason for contamination of water due to their occurrence in excess all around us. MOFs have been studied in the removal of pharmaceutical wastes, but some major drawbacks such as toxic metals, small surface area, production of secondary pollutants, and high cost have hindered their applications. Our study highlights the major challenges and future perspectives including possible solutions to said problems of MOFs in pharmaceutical waste treatment. Various strategies may enhance the applicability of MOFs in biomedical and industrial applications. MOFs have played a vital role in real-life experiences.
