Abstract
Clean water is necessary for whole human society and environment as well but this water is being wasted by industrial effluents like dyes, heavy metals etc. Due to high stability and anti-oxidation properties, ceramic membranes have been used in waste water treatment. Porous material has been used for good separation due to high selectivity by using processes like microfiltration and ultrafiltration. Some problems regarding ceramic membranes can be solved by coating MOFs on ceramic membrane. Moreover, metal organic frameworks are a combination of metals and organic ligands, can be used worldwide for waste water treatment, separation of gas and in field of energy. There is an issue regarding the stability of MOFs in water, researchers still working on enhancement of applications of MOFs in waste water treatment. It has been observed that by regulating the intracrystalline structure performance of MOFs can be improved. In this review, synthesis methods of MOFs based ceramic membranes like seeding method, layer by layer method and microwave thermal deposition method and applications in separation of heavy metals, separation of salts and minerals from saline water are discussed.
Keywords: MOFs based ceramic membranes, removal of dye, water treatment
