Abstract

Phosphate pollution is a very challenging problem for the water environment. Phosphate mixed with water in various ways causes eutrophication. To sustain life in aquatic systems, phosphate ions must be cleaned. Therefore, it is very important to remove phosphate in wastewater. Here, an adsorption method has been tried for the removal of phosphate. MOF-76 (Ce), a cerium-based metal-organic framework, was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Since metal oxides are known to be successful in phosphate adsorption, CeO nanoparticles were also obtained by pyrolysis of this MOF structure. The phosphate adsorption efficiencies of both adsorbents were compared. The characterization methods (SEM, FTIR, XRD, and TGA) were applied to adsorbents. The kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamics studies were applied to experimental results. At 298 K, the adsorption capacity of MOF-76 (Ce) is higher than that of CeO, according to Langmuir isotherm values. The values are 72.97 and 55.71 mg/g, respectively. Both adsorbents follow the pseudo second-order kinetic model. It has been found that MOF-76 (Ce) has a pH-selective property in phosphate adsorption. No change was observed in the phosphate adsorption capacity of CeO with pH. In terms of thermodynamics, the endothermic reaction is valid for both adsorbents.
