Adsorbent based on MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite for adsorption of organic dyes from wastewater

Industries persistently contribute to environmental pollution by releasing a multitude of harmful substances, including organic dyes, which represent a significant hazard to human health. As a result, the demand for effective adsorbents in wastewater treatment technology is steadily increasing so as to mitigate or eradicate these environmental risks. In response to this challenge, we have developed an advanced composite known as MOF-5/Cellulose aerogel, utilizing the Pampas plant as a natural material in the production of cellulose aerogel. Our investigation focused on analyzing the adsorption and flexibility characteristics of this novel composite for organic dye removal. Additionally, we conducted tests to assess the aerogel’s reusability and determined that its absorption rate remained consistent, with the adsorption capacity of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite only experiencing a marginal 5% reduction. Characterization of the material was conducted through XRD analysis, revealing the cubic structure of MOF aerogel particles under scanning electron microscopy. Our study unequivocally demonstrates the superior adsorption capabilities of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite, particularly evident in its efficient removal of acid blue dye, as evaluated meticulously using UV–Vis spectrophotometric techniques. Notably, our findings revealed an impressive 96% absorption rate for the anionic dye under acidic pH conditions. Furthermore, the synthesized MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite exhibited Langmuir isotherm behavior and followed pseudo-second-order kinetics during the absorption process. With its remarkable absorption efficiency, MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composites are poised to emerge as leading adsorbents for water purification and various other applications.

Cellulose aerogel represents an ultra-light porous material with a three-dimensional network structure [14][15][16] .It offers advantages such as low density, high porosity, recyclability, biodegradability, and low cost, along with a high specific surface area, rendering it an excellent candidate as a supporting material.Furthermore, cellulose aerogel demonstrates both physical and chemical stability in water and can be easily retrieved from aqueous environments [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] As a novel type of MOF, carbon materials derived from ZIF-8 possess distinctive characteristics, including an elevated specific surface area and stratified porous arrangement.These features endow them with abundant accessible active sites and reduce the distance for reactants to diffuse 24 .Zhu et al. successfully combined various MOF materials (ZIF-8, UiO-66, and MIL-100(Fe)) with cellulose aerogel for the efficient adsorption of heavy metals.Wang et al. loaded UiO-66 onto cellulose aerogel to facilitate the adsorption of dyes 25 .Similarly, Ma et al. employed an in-situ growth method to prepare ZIF-8@cellulose aerogel, achieving effective adsorption of both dyes and heavy metal ions.However, MOF materials are primarily found in powder form, which often leads to agglomeration, making them challenging to recycle.Additionally, some MOF materials exhibit poor stability in water, limiting their applications in water treatment.Therefore, immobilizing MOFs onto a suitable support material is an effective strategy for facilitating their recovery and reuse 26 .
Furthermore, pampas grass emerges as a valuable resource for composite production.As a naturally occurring plant, it serves as an excellent source for creating cellulose aerogel.Cellulose aerogels derived from pampas grass possess unique qualities such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, renewability, and minimal toxicity.These inherent properties confer significant advantages to cellulose aerogels 27 .Figure 1 compares the performance of MOF and MOF with cellulose aerogel.The effective utilization of biomass and the purification of dye wastewater are urgent problems.The exceptional properties of MOFs, coupled with the superior attributes of the cellulose aerogel matrix, contribute to this high potential.This study explores the absorption properties of anionic dyes using a composite material comprising MOF-5 and cellulose aerogel.MOF-5 is renowned for its exceptional surface area and porosity, while cellulose aerogel provides structural support.The selection of anionic dyes indicates a deliberate targeting of negatively charged dyes, aiming to efficiently remove them from wastewater.The researchers conducted characterizations of the composite material and analyzed the adsorption mechanism to gain insights into the interactions between the composite and anionic dyes.The anticipated benefits of employing the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite include enhanced adsorption capacity, improved stability, and suitability for large-scale applications.
Also, we present a straightforward and innovative approach for crafting structured MOFs using pampas.Aerogels were synthesized through a basic sol-gel technique, succeeded by freeze-drying.We examined the capacity of these MOF-5/aerogel cellulose composite to absorb organic dyes.

Materials and instrumentation
All plant experiments and protocols adhered to relevant institutional, national, and international guidelines and legislation.The experimental procedure utilized pampas grass as the raw material, which was obtained through purchase.All chemicals employed in the experiment, including zinc nitrate hexahydrate, terephthalic acid, N,N-dimethylformamide, triethylamine, sodium hydroxide, sodium hypochlorite, nitric acid, Acid Blue, and deionized water, were commercially sourced and met the standards for analytical reagent grade.

Preparation of MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite
Extraction of cellulose Initially, 5 g of pampas were meticulously weighed and combined with 1 M sodium hydroxide solution.The substance obtained from this step was then mixed in a solution of ethanol and nitric acid (ratio 5:1) and stirred for 180 min at a temperature ranging from 65 to 70 °C.Finally, the extracted cellulose was thoroughly washed multiple times using a sodium hypochlorite solution.

Synthesis of aerogel
One mole of cellulose extracted from pampas grass was mixed with 300 ml of distilled water and stirred for 1 h to disperse.After about an hour, 0.5 mol of methylene bisacrylamide were slowly added to the container until fully homogenized, and the mixture was stirred.The obtained mixture was then ultrasonicated for one hour at 25 °C to obtain a gel.The resulting gel was kept in the freezer for 12 h, followed by freeze-drying.

Synthesis of MOF-5
The synthesis of MOF-5 was carried out with reference to previous research and included innovations.Initially, a solution containing terephthalic acid, triethylamine, and DMF was prepared in specific proportions.Separately, a solution of sodium chloride and DMF was also prepared, and both solutions were combined at ambient temperature.Subsequently, a solution of zinc salt was gradually introduced into the initial mixture.The resulting solution is then transferred to an autoclave, a specialized reaction vessel designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures.The autoclave is heated to 383 K (equivalent to approximately 110 °C) for a duration of 24 h to facilitate the reaction.Subsequently, the synthesized MOF-5 undergo centrifugation and are washed with dimethylformamide (DMF).

Synthesis of MOF-5/Cellulose aerogel composite
According to the outlined procedure, the initial step involves blending acrylamide with cellulose extract in a water-based solvent.Following this, a MOF is introduced into the mixture.To optimize the manufacturing method, different amounts of MOF-5 were added to the aerogel, and its performance in removing the coloring agent was evaluated (the results are mentioned in Table 1).The mixture was then carefully mixed and sonicated at 90 °C for one hour.Finally, the material underwent freeze-drying.Figure 2 offers a visual depiction of the process for producing MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composites from pampas grass.

Analyses and instrumentation
The MOF-5/Cellulose aerogel composite underwent surface morphology analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (Hitachi Su3500 model from Japan).This technique enables detailed examination of the sample's topography, texture, and composition.SEM photographs were captured at room temperature via a scanning electron microscope, with the appropriate magnification selected to fulfil specific analysis requirements.SEM images were obtained at various magnifications to capture both fine details and an overall view of the sample.These images provide crucial insights into the surface structure of the composite, revealing morphological features such as cracks, pores, and roughness.Understanding these characteristics aids researchers in determining material properties, including porosity, surface area, and potential applications.SEM analysis facilitates visualization and examination of the composite material's microstructure, offering valuable information for further characterization and optimization.
For determining absorption amounts, we utilized the Shimadzu 1800 model UV spectrophotometer from Japan.This method accurately quantifies the absorption or transmission of ultraviolet and visible light by the sample, offering insight into the effectiveness of the dye removal process.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was conducted using the XMD300 model from Switzerland.By passing X-rays through a crystal and measuring the resulting diffraction pattern, valuable information about the crystal's atomic arrangement can be obtained.Analyzing the diffraction pattern enables researchers to determine the crystal's lattice parameters, unit cell dimensions, and the positions of atoms within the crystal lattice.These details provide insights into the crystal's structure, facilitating material identification and property investigation.Functional group analysis was performed using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, employing the Perkin Elmer model from the USA.The compound also underwent BET analysis utilizing N2 adsorption.The adsorption-desorption isotherm of the synthesized compound was then examined.

Adsorption experiments
Adsorption tests were conducted to investigate the absorption characteristics of the cellulose aerogel composite with MOF-5.The experimental procedure involved synthesizing and characterizing the MOF-5/Cellulose aerogel composite.Subsequently, a comparative analysis was performed to assess their adsorption capacity and kinetic modelling, specifically for removing acid blue (an anionic dye).This method enabled the accurate determination of the rate at which dyes were adsorbed onto the porous materials.Following the kinetic analysis, a comprehensive parametric evaluation was conducted with utmost precision.
Throughout the experiments, a range of parameters were tested to analyze their influence on the dye adsorption process.These parameters included pH levels ranging from 3 to 10, initial dye concentrations ranging from 5 to 100 mg/L, mixing times ranging from 2 to 180 min, and adsorbent doses ranging from 0.1 to 1 g/L.Multiple adsorption experiments were carried out on the MOF-5/Cellulose aerogel composite for dye removal.Upon completion of the adsorption period, centrifugation was employed to separate the materials and dye solution, ensuring the isolation of materials from the liquid phase.These experiments yielded valuable insights into the potential applications of these materials in environmental contexts.
The Shimadzu UV-1800 spectrophotometric method was utilized to determine the color concentration in the liquid phase.In each experimental step, the percentage of dye removal (μ%) was calculated by subtracting the dye concentration after adsorption from the dye concentration before adsorption (Eq.1).This calculation facilitated the quantification of adsorption performance and evaluation of the extent of dye removal from the porous material.The dye removal efficiency (μ%) for each experimental run was calculated by taking the difference between the dye concentration after adsorption (C, measured in mg/L) and the dye concentration before adsorption, according to Eq. ( 1).This calculation allowed researchers to quantify the effectiveness of the adsorption process and assess the extent of dye removal achieved by the porous materials.
(1) The capacity of adsorbents at any given time (qt, mg/g) can be calculated using the following formula, considering the mass of adsorbents in the solution (m, g), the volume of the solution (V, L), initial dye concentration (C 0 , mg/L), and dye concentration at that specific time (C t , mg/g) in (Eq.2): The formula (Eq.2) for calculating the adsorbent capacity at a specific time (qt, mg/g), considering the adsorbent amount in the solution (m, g), is as follows:

Study of reusability of adsorbent materials
The MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite material employed for dye removal underwent washing with ethanol and was subsequently reused in further tests to evaluate its efficacy.

Results and discussion
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit versatility in creating various structures with distinct properties, stemming from differences in metal ions and organic ligands [28][29][30] .Organic bonds within MOF structures play a pivotal role in determining their characteristics, including thermal and aqueous stability, as well as absorption performance.The adsorption and pollutant removal capabilities of MOFs are comparable to those of other adsorbents.Notably, MOF-5 stands out as a significant organometallic structure 31 , characterized by its threedimensional configuration comprising terephthalic acid ligands and a Zn 4 O (Zn 4 O(TPA) 3 ) framework 32 .
A composite material incorporating MOF-5 and cellulose aerogel was synthesized using pampas plants.MOF-5's exceptional surface area and porosity, combined with cellulose aerogel's structural support, enhance dye absorption.The selection of anionic dyes indicates a deliberate targeting of negatively charged dyes, aligning with the composite's design to efficiently eliminate such contaminants from wastewater.Leveraging the innate structure and high cellulose content of pampas plants minimizes environmental impact in cellulose aerogel production.

Characterization of MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite
Surface morphology study Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was conducted on the fabricated composites to analyze their surface morphology, size, and shape.As depicted in Fig. 3a,b, SEM images of the MOF at different magnifications reveal a cubic structure with crystal sizes ranging from 80 to 150 nm.This structure aligns with previous findings in the literature concerning synthesized MOFs.Furthermore, Fig. 3b shows an SEM image of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite, showcasing a notable morphological transformation possibly attributed to the chemical bonding of aerogels by MBA.The coordination of MBA with free electron pairs on nitrogen atoms alters the MOF morphology, facilitating the integration of MOF molecules with the aerogel solution and creating additional free space.The SEM images (Fig. 3a) clearly depict cubic crystals of almost uniform size, indicating successful MOF formation.Additionally, the SEM image of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite (Fig. 3b) reveals a fibril-aggregated pattern of cellulose aerogel and MOF-5 crystals around fibers, affirming successful synthesis.This characterization confirms the composite's suitability for intended applications, such as adsorption-based processes or environmental remediation.

XRD
In Fig. 4b of the study, XRD patterns for the MOF-5 are presented.The XRD spectrum for MOF-5 exhibits characteristic peaks at 6.85 degrees, 9.69 degrees, 13.74 degrees, and 15.31 degrees.These peaks align with the pattern specified in the literature, indicating the presence of MOF-5 with its expected crystal structure (as reported in reference 49 46).Furthermore, the XRD pattern for the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite in Fig. 4c displays a prominent peak in the 2θ range between 20 and 30 degrees, characteristic of cellulose 50,51 .

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis (FTIR)
The FTIR spectrum for MOF-5 is depicted in Fig. 4a.Several distinct peaks are identifiable, including asymmetric and symmetric stretching of C-C at 1390 cm −1 , C=C stretching at 1605 cm −1 , and metal-oxygen bond (Zn-O) represented by notable bands at 750 cm −1 , serving as a chemical fingerprint of MOF-5 52 .The FTIR spectra also provide insights into the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite material.The presence of hydroxyl groups (-OH) is indicated by a peak at 3400 cm −1 .Additionally, peak corresponding to C-O group is observed at 1080 cm −1 , respectively, within the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite structure.Moreover, when considering MOF-5 formed encasing the fibers, the prominent peaks at approximately 1390 and 1600 cm −1 indicate the presence of the organic linker, specifically terephthalic acid in the case of MOF-5 53 .
(2) www.nature.com/scientificreports/BET The differences in the porous properties of MOF-5 and MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composites were confirmed through N 2 adsorption tests.The results of these tests are represented in a graph shown in Fig. 5, which displays the N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherm (Fig. 5a) and BET surface area plot (Fig. 5b).According to Brunauer's classification of five types of adsorption isotherms, it is suggested that the adsorption isotherms of MOF-5 and MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composites likely fall under type IV isotherms, with hysteresis loops belonging to H3 and H1 categories.The isotherm is described as being convex at low pressure, indicating a strong interaction between the adsorbate and the sorbent.According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), MOF-5 and MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composites are classified as mesoporous, given that the width of the mesopores ranges between 2 and 50 nm.Additionally, the specific surface area, pore size, and pore volume are calculated and the results are shown in Table 2.

UV-Vis
To assess the adsorption ability of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite, acid blue dye was selected from numerous aqueous pollutants.In the experiment, a small piece of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite was immersed in solutions containing acid blue dye.Over time, the color of the solution gradually diminished, eventually becoming colorless.Concurrently, the UV-Vis absorption peak at 610 nm exhibited a significant reduction, as depicted in Fig. 6.Interestingly, the color of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite transformed from white to blue.This change indicates that the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite effectively adsorbed the acid blue molecules.The significant size of acid blue molecules, exceeding 200 nm (larger than the 80 nm pore diameter of the MOF), prevents their entry into the MOF's pores, resulting in surface adsorption instead.MOF-5 may contain metal sites capable of forming coordination bonds with acid blue molecules, while aerogels may provide surface functional groups (such as hydroxyl or amino groups) capable of hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions with the dye molecules.These interactions help trap the acid blue molecules within the composite.The combination of MOF-5 and aerogels in a composite can enhance the overall adsorption capacity and efficiency compared to either material alone.This could be due to increased surface area, improved pore accessibility, or enhanced chemical interactions between the composite and acid blue molecules.
To determine the maximum absorption capacity of aqueous acid for our composite, we conducted absorption isotherm studies at various initial concentrations while maintaining a constant temperature of 25 °C.As depicted in Table 3, the equilibrium adsorption data closely adheres to the Langmuir model, revealing a maximum adsorption capacity of up to 60 mg/g.

Zeta potential and point-zero charge measurements
The surface charge properties of the prepared composite material, MOF-5/cellulose aerogel, were examined through zeta potential measurements and determination of pHpzc.The MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite exhibited a positive surface charge, with an average zeta potential of 35.34 mV.The pHpzc value, representing the pH at which the surface charge is neutral, was determined to be 6.8 in water.At pH values lower than pHpzc, the surface of the composite develops a positive charge, resulting in increased absorption.Consequently, the absorption of the anionic dye was notably higher in acidic pH conditions, where the positively charged surface facilitated electrostatic attraction, leading to a faster absorption process and enhanced overall absorption capacity.

The effect of pH on absorption
The impact of pH levels on dye removal by the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite is illustrated in Fig. 7. Specifically, for the absorption of the anionic pigment acid blue, the optimal pH level is acidic, particularly at pH 3.

Absorption kinetics
The adsorption kinetics of MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite was explained and analyzed by using different mathematical models in Eqs.(3 and 4).The pseudo-first-order kinetic model (Eq.3) and the pseudo-secondorder model (Eq.4).
In this context, qt (mg/g) and qe (mg/g) represent the adsorption capacity at time t (minutes) and at equilibrium, respectively.k 1 and k 2 denote the rate constants for the pseudo-first-order (min −1 ) and pseudo-secondorder adsorption kinetics (g mg −1 min −1 ) (3) log q e − q t = logq e − K 1 t 2.303 www.nature.com/scientificreports/Mathematical models were employed to calculate the correlation coefficient (R 2 ) and release rate constant (K) values through regression analysis.These values provide valuable insights into release kinetics and mechanisms.The results depicted in Fig. 8 indicate that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model exhibits the highest regression coefficient, indicating its superior accuracy.
The pseudo-second-order model suggests that the rate of absorption is directly proportional to the square of the difference between the amount of absorption in the equilibrium state and the amount of absorption at any given time, which is utilized to analyze absorption processes.In this model, the rate-controlling step is determined based on the chemical adsorption of the adsorbate onto the surface of the adsorbent.

Adsorption isotherm
Adsorption isotherm models are pivotal in evaluating absorption progress and investigating absorption mechanisms.In this study, the equilibrium data of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin models, as described by Eqs.(5-7).The application of these isotherm models in adsorption treatment was scrutinized through the assessment of the correlation coefficient (R 2 )66,65.
The Langmuir isotherm model, grounded in the concept that the adsorption process occurs at homogeneous sites on the adsorbent surface, was employed.According to this model, once the dye fills the adsorbent surface, no further adsorption can occur on that surface.This suggests that the adsorption process inherently follows a monolayer mechanism.The linear form of the Langmuir isotherm model is expressed by Eq. ( 5) 54 .
The Freundlich isotherm describes the physico-chemical process in which the adsorbate is transferred from the solution phase into the porous adsorbent, where the adsorption process takes place.The mathematical representation of the Freundlich isotherm model is expressed by Eq 55 .The Temkin isotherm model posits that the adsorption heat of all molecules diminishes linearly as the coverage of the adsorbent surface increases.It assumes that adsorption is marked by a consistent distribution of binding energies, reaching a maximum binding energy.The mathematical expression for the Temkin isotherm model is then given by Eq. ( 7)   The results obtained for all models are presented in Table 3.The correlation coefficient (R 2 ) value for the Langmuir model is 0.9753, which is higher than the values calculated for the Freundlich and Temkin isotherms.Therefore, it appears that the Langmuir isotherm better describes the adsorption of acid blue dye by the MOF-5/ cellulose aerogel composite.q m represents the maximum adsorption capacity (also known as the Langmuir adsorption capacity), indicating the maximum amount of adsorbate that can be adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent at monolayer coverage.According to the obtained results, the maximum adsorption capacity for the manufactured composite is 60 mg/g.The Langmuir isotherm model, based on the assumption that adsorption transpires at uniform sites on the adsorbent surface, was utilized.According to this model, once the surface of the adsorbent is completely covered by the color, further adsorption ceases on that surface 54 .

Regeneration study of MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite
The recyclability of adsorbents is a crucial aspect to consider.Hence, we examined the recycling performance of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite.The results demonstrated that it maintained its excellent adsorption performance and capacity even after multiple recycling cycles.
Figure 9 illustrates the results of the reuse of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite over three cycles.For each reuse, the composite material was washed with diluted ethanol as a washing agent to remove aqueous acid.After three reuses, the adsorption capacity of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite decreased by only 5%.

Comparison of other absorbents
The results of the maximum absorption capacity of the MOF-5/cellulose aerogel composite for dye adsorption are presented in Table 4.The obtained results demonstrate the good adsorption capacity of the MOF composite compared to other adsorbents.

Conclusion
