Abstract

Degradation of plastics forms micro plastics (MPs), which are one of the major water pollutants, offers substantial threat to ecology and health. Metal organic frameworks (MOF) have been considered as an emerging technology for waste water treatment (WWT), i.e., MPs because of adjustable and regular pore structure, adjustable topologies and functional diversity. Homogeneous catalyst leaching, availability of catalyst for synthesis process, easy modification of pore size and surface gives MOFs advantage over the other WWT technologies. Development of efficient MOF synthesis technology will exert new horizons in WWT. This review article has emphasized on the constructive comparison between different MOF synthesis technologies like conventional, electrochemical, microwave (MW) assisted, sonochemical, mechanochemical and continuous-flow spray drying. Highest yield observed for MW assisted process is 99% followed by Solvothermal and other processes. During this study parameters like BET (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) surface area, thermal stability and reaction time were also compared. The opportunities in MOF synthesis and challenges have been addressed in this work and further improvement scopes has also been discussed.
