Ferrocene‐Based Metal‐Organic Framework for Adsorption and Degradation of Antibiotics

Antibiotics have emerged as a significant class of organic pollutants, posing serious global challenges to both the environment and human health. To address the issue of water pollution by antibiotics, a ferrocene-based organic framework (FcMOF) with paramagnetism has been synthesized by hydrothermal complexation of ferrocene dicarboxylic acid with copper chloride and utilized for quick and efficient adsorption and degradation of antibiotics. The maximum adsorption capacity of TC was 736.59 mg g^-1 and the degradation rate reached 94.24 % under the optimal conditions (40 °C, pH = 3, 3.0 % H₂O₂). This provides a new solution with high treatment capacity for antibiotic pollution in water without secondary pollution.
