Synergistic effect of carboxyl and sulfate groups for effective removal of radioactive strontium ion in a Zr-metal-organic framework

Rapid removal of radioactive strontium from nuclear wastewater is of great significance for environmental safety and human health. This work reports the effective adsorption of strontium ion in a stable dual-group metal-organic framework, Zr6(OH)14(BDC-(COOH)2)4(SO4)0.75 (Zr-BDC-COOH-SO4), which con...
