Selective adsorption of mercury ion from water by a novel functionalized magnetic Ti based metal-organic framework composite.

In the context of industrialization and severe wastewater pollution, mercury ions pose a major threat due to their high toxicity. However, traditional adsorbents and common metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have limited effectiveness. This study focuses on combining magnetic materials with functionalized titanium-based MOF composite (SNN-MIL-125(Ti)@FeO) to improve mercury ion adsorption.
