Description

Recently, varieties of metal organic frameworks (MOF) have been used to adsorb uranium from water. In this work, Zn based ZIF-8 (Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework) has been used as an adsorbent to adsorb uranium from aqueous medium as well as from simulated seawater. To investigate the adsorption efficiency of the material, we have measured the uranyl concentration before and after treating with the material by using ICP-OES. We have synthesized the rhombic dodecahedral Zn based ZIF-8. It is a mesoporous material and has significant removal efficiency of U(VI) from aqueous medium as well as simulated seawater
