Swimming pool water treatment using MIL-100 (Fe) metal-organic framework: Removal of uric acid

Water quality protecting in Swimming pools is important for the health of swimmers. Chlorine and its derivatives, which are added to the water as a disinfectant, interact with uric acid from the sweat and urine in water. This procedure produces toxic compounds in the water that endanger the health of the swimmer, even in small amounts. Based on this, introducing a method for removing and separation of this compound from water and treatment of pool water is more important. In this work, adsorption method using metal-organic framework MIL-100 (Fe) as sorbent was applied as for the removal of uric acid from water solutions. This adsorbent can remove uric acid (mg L-1) under ultrasonic waves, the amount of 3 mg of MIL-100(Fe) in initial pH=10 of analyte solution, recovery of removal is 60% of uric acid from water in 30 min. This method is a good and efficient strategy for removing of uric acid due to using a porous metal organic framework material as sorbent.
