Efficient, selective, and reusable metal–organic framework-based adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) and Cr(VI) heavy-metal pollutants from wastewater

Water containing excess heavy metals poses a health risk to humans but can be purified effectively using adsorbents. As such, identifying novel and efficient adsorbents to remove heavy metals such as Pb(II) and Cr(VI) is vital. We report a new metal-organic framework (MOF), {[Cd1.5(btc)(bibp)·2H2O]·...
