An iron terephthalate (MOF-235), one of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), has been used for the removal of harmful dyes (anionic dye methyl orange (MO) and cationic dye methylene blue (MB)) from contaminated water via adsorption. The adsorption capacities of MOF-235 are much higher than those of an activated carbon. The performance of MOF-235 having high adsorption capacity is remarkable because the MOF-235 does not adsorb nitrogen at liquid nitrogen temperature. Based on this study. MOFs, even if they do not adsorb gases, can be suggested as potential at sorbents to remove harmful materials in the liquid phase. Adsorption of MO and MB at various temperatures shows that the adsorption is a spontaneous and endothermic process and that the entropy increases (the driving force of the adsorption) with adsorption of MO and MB.
