Abstract: Oxybenzone, one of the most often detected pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPS), from aqueous solutions and this PPCPs removal from water had been studied by using the highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF) ) MIL-101(Cr) and a modified MIL-101(Cr) called MIL-101-OH. Adsorption results showed that MIL-101-OH which contains functional group such as –OH, which was very effective for oxybenzone adsorption. The adsorption performance of MIL-101-OH over MIL-101-OH was found to be greater than that of MIL-101(Cr), which means the functionalization of primitive MOFs have a positive effect on adsorption. The kinetics of MIL-101-OH also showed higher result compare to MIL-101(Cr). So along with a high adsorption capacity and repaid adsorption which is important for commercial applications.
