Abstract Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted great attention due to their unique characteristics and accordingly found their way to a multitude of applications including water remediation. Co-based zeolite imidazole framework ZIF-67) has recently shown interesting adsorptive decontamination capabilities towards metallic and organic water pollutants. Yet, ZIF-67 adsorption mechanism and stability have not been studied enough. In this study, ZIF-67 nanocrystals (” ” ” " ~ " ” ” ” 40 nm) were synthesized and applied as an adsorbent for Cr2O7 2- from water. The Cr2O7 2-ZIF-67 adsorption mechanism and both of Cr2O7 2- and ZIF-67 consequent structural changes were investigated by analyzing the elemental composition and oxidation states, the adsorption isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamics, and the optimized quantum computational models. |
