Abstract: Environmental pollution with heavy metal ions is increasing year after year due to the rapid growth of industry and agriculture. Heavy metals are a major concern due to their extreme toxicity to humans, and their detrimental impact on the environment and ecosystems. The effective removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater is a critical necessity, driven by strict environmental regulations and the potential for resource recovery (metal value) in industrial contexts.
The development of advanced materials is key to overcoming the limitations (such as sludge generation, low efficiency at low concentrations, and high cost) of traditional heavy metal removal methods like chemical precipitation. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a paradigm-shifting class of materials for the adsorption of heavy metal ions from wastewater. Their unique structural and chemical properties directly address the limitations of traditional adsorbents. This article presents various methods for the synthesis of the zeolite framework of imidazole-8 (ZIF-8), consisting of one type of MOF material - from atoms of metallic zinc and 2-methylimidazole, as well as their characteristics. It is also believed that (ZIF-8) is a well-known wastewater treatment material with high adsorption capacity and unique properties for photocatalytic materials. In addition, recent advances in the use, synthesis and other applications of MOF for the effective removal of heavy metals from water were discussed.
