A scalable and cost-effective zinc-based MOF for efficient Cu(II) and Pb(II) removal from aqueous solutions

Key Points

• Efficient removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) is achieved using a zinc-based MOF.
• The adsorption efficiency for both metals was significantly higher compared to traditional methods.
• Assessment using various concentrations and timeframes confirmed the effectiveness of the zinc-based MOF.
• Cost-effective materials may enable large-scale application for environmental remediation.
