The [Cu(INA)2] MOFs was found to be good adsorption material having good adsorption capacity. The maximum adsorption capacity for the [Cu(INA)2] MOFs was observed to be 22.73 mg/g for anthracene. The adsorption process favoured the pseudo- second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm was found to be most appropriate model that described the adsorption data. [Cu(INA)2 ] MOFs, therefore, can be used as an environmentally friendly adsorbent in the treatment of wastewater.en[Cu(INA)2] MOFs (Copper – isonicotinic acid Metal-Organic Frameworks), Anthracene, Adsorption, solvent-free methodArticle
