Abstract

Organic contaminants, notorious for their complexity and resistance to degradation, are prevalent in aquatic environments, posing severe threats to ecosystems. Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs), known for their stability and high effectiveness, have become a common choice for treating organic wastewater. Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have garnered substantial attention due to their facile chemical manipulation, unique structural configurations, and other favorable properties. Therefore, this article critically reviews recent advances in research involving the utilization of Fe-based MOFs (Fe-MOFs) and their derivatives in SR-AOPs. Specifically, it highlights the manipulation of influencing factors within the system to enhance the degradation of organic pollutants. The mechanisms and applications underlying the degradation of organic pollutants in the SR-AOPs system are also elucidated.

Keywords: Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs); Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs); Organic pollutants; Sulfate radical.
