Efficient removal of radionuclides U(VI) by rod-like metal organic framework (MOF-5) nanomaterials

As the radionuclide 235U(VI) is inevitably released into the natural environment, the potential toxicity and irreversibility impact on the natural environment has become one of the most forefront pollution problems in nuclear energy utilization. A recent study revealed that a rod-like metal-organic framework (MOF-5) nanomaterial was used as a high-efficiency adsorbent for sorption of U(VI) with a maximum adsorption capacity of 237.0 mg/g in five minutes.
