Investigation of the properties and applications of magnetic metal-organic framework (MMOF) composites for detection and removal of environmental pollutants

Environmental pollution is one of the issues facing scientists in recent years. With the advancement of various technologies, new achievements have been made in various fields, including industrial wastewater treatment. Nanomaterials have a key role in the identification and removal of pollutants. One of the best ways to control pollution is to use magnetic metal-organic framework (MMOF) composites, which is a combination of metal-organic framework and magnetic nanoparticles. These magnetic composites, as adsorbents, have both the properties of a metal organic framework and the property of magnetic separation, which makes these composites have high absorption capacity, easy separation, fast absorption with reusability. These properties has high potential for identification and removal of contaminants from the aqueous environment. In this review paper, several ways to synthesis MMOF composites based on their composition are introduced. Furthermore, the analysis of physical and chemical properties as well as the applications of these compounds for detection and removal of environmental pollutants have been discussed.
