A Review on Adsorption of Organic Pollutants from Water by UiO-67 and Its Derivatives

With the outstanding features of low cost and simple operation, adsorption is an effective strategy to remove organic pollutants that caused irreversible harm to organisms from water. UiO-67, a kind of stable zirconiumbased MOF material, has been considered as a promising adsorbent with appropriate pore size, superior structure and strong affinity with various organic pollutants. Thus, UiO-67 is a great potential material in effectively removing organic pollutants from water. In this review, the research status of UiO-67 and its derivatives in terms of various modification strategies and adsorption property improvements and mechanisms to different organic pollutants are analyzed and compared.
