Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis Of S-Block / F-Block Materials And A New Method In Thin Film Synthesis

TL;DRAbstract

Many priority pollutants listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found in wastewater are anionic in charge and are difficult to remediate. This is either due to high mobility in wastewater, radioactivity, or being in the presence of other inorganic oxyanions (carbonate, nitrate, etc.) in much higher concentrations that would impede immobilization. Several anions that are EPA priority pollutants include: perchlorate, pertechnetate, arsenate, arsenite, and chromate. In order to remediate these pollutants, highly selective cationic materials must be made in order to exchange them out of wastewater.\tAnion exchange resins are the current standard material used to remediate anionic pollutants. These inexpensive polymers have poor selectivity towards these pollutants in the presence of other anions and are very unstable in different chemical and thermal environments. Inorganic extended materials show much promise in addressing the shortcomings of anion exchange resins but ma
