Superior removal of inorganic and organic arsenic pollutants from water with MIL-88A(Fe) decorated on cotton fibers.
Arsenic contamination has attracted worldwide concerns, owing to its toxicity and severe threat to human and environment. It is urgent to develop efficient adsorbents to remove arsenic pollutants. Within this paper, both pristine MIL-88A(Fe) and MIL-88A(Fe) decorated on cotton fibers were successfully fabricated using an eco-friendly method. The pristine MIL-88A(Fe) displayed outstanding adsorption performances towards four selected arsenic pollutants, in which the adsorption capacities toward As(III), As(V), ROX and ASA were 126.5, 164.0, 261.4 and 427.5 mg g
