Abstract
Toxic anions and heavy metals are one of the most important issues of concern in the world because of their exposure to ionic contamination, which is very common, as well as their potential for the environment and human health. Until now, the applications of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been studied extensively in many different fields such as filtering, purification, detection and storage. However, for some contaminations (eg organic pollutants, heavy metals and hazardous chemicals), their use in the field of wastewater treatment (WWT) has not yet been fully assessed. In this chapter, we discussed the development and comparison of traditional materials based on metal organic frameworks based wastewater treatment techniques. The process of pollutants in water and the performance and details of MOFs in different treatment areas have been emphasized.
