Abstract

Abstract : Incorporation of MOF UiO-66 into an advanced α-alumina matrix leads to a novel composite concept for enhanced adsorptive separation. Abstract : The development of a metal–organic framework/α-alumina composite leads to a novel concept: efficient adsorption occurs within a plurality of radial micro-channels with no loss of the active adsorbents during the process. This composite can effectively remediate arsenic contaminated water producing potable water recovery, whereas the conventional fixed bed requires eight times the amount of active adsorbents to achieve a similar performance.
