In this study, the removal of persistent emerging and dangerous pollutants (pharmaceuticals and pathogens) in synthetic wastewater was evaluated by the application of heterogeneous Advanced Oxidation Processes. To do that, a Metal-Organic Framework (MOF), Basolite F-300 was selected as a catalyst and combined with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as oxidants in order to generate sulphate radicals. Several key parameters such as the PMS and Basolite F-300 concentration were evaluated and optimized using a Central Composite Experimental Design for response surface methodology for the inactivation of . The assessment of the degradation of an analgesic and antipyretic pharmaceutical, antipyrine, revealed that is necessary to increase the concentration of PMS and amount of Basolite F-300, in order to diminish the treatment time. Finally, the PMS-Basolite F-300 system can be used for at least four cycles without a reduction in its ability to disinfect and degrade persistent emerging and dangerous pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and pathogens.

In recent years, heterogeneous electro-Fenton processes have gained considerable attention as an alternative to homogeneous processes. In this context, the aim of this study is the use of a commercial iron metal-organic framework (Fe-MOF), Basolite® F-300, as a base material for the design of a heterogeneous electro-Fenton treatment system for the removal of antipyrine. Initially, the catalyst was applied as powder in aqueous solution and three key parameters of the electro-Fenton process (pH, Fe-MOF concentration and current density) were evaluated and optimized by a Central Composite Design Face Centred (CCD-FC) using antipyrine removal and energy consumption as response functions.

Hybrid nanomaterials comprising tungsten heteropolyacid (HPW) and iron-based MOF Basolite™ F 300 used as a support were obtained by post-synthesis combination of the two components. Samples with increasing HPW loading (20, 50, and 80 wt%) were characterised by appropriate physicochemical methods, including nitrogen sorption, electron microscopy imaging, FT-IR spectroscopy, sorption microbalance and catalytic tests. The acidic protons of the tungsten-based heteropolyacid catalysed ethanol conversion depending on location of HPW at either internal or external surfaces of the commercial Basolite™ F 300.
