Synthesis of Highly Efficient and Recyclable Bimetallic Co-Fe-MOF for the Synthesis of Xanthan and Removal of Toxic Pb and Cd Ions.

Mono-(Fe) and bimetallic Co-Fe-MOF with different Co and Fe contents was successfully synthesized by the solvothermal method. The structural properties of the prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results revealed the successful formation of mono and mixed Co-Fe-MOF.
