Abstract

As an advanced oxidation process, Fenton oxidation has attracted much attention because its reactants and products are green and pollution - free. The traditional Fenton oxidation method has some problems, such as high PH requirement and low utilization rate of hydrogen peroxide. Over the past few years, the advancements in application research of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have presented innovative and effective ideas for addressing the aforementioned issues. This paper presents the recent advancements in Fenton oxidation technique utilizing Fenton-based materials. Based on literature analysis, it can be seen that Fe-based MOFs were initially used for catalytic reaction and the research shows that the catalytic activity of Fe-based MOFs can be increased by increasing the number of unsaturated Fe metal sites. And the doping of other metals into Fe-based MOF or dual ligand Fe-based MOFs can play a role in changing the structure and increasing the unsaturated metal sites which can further expand the direct application of MOFs in the Fenton oxidation method. However, due to the limited types of iron-based MOFs, non-iron-based MOFs materials and indirect use of MOFs have been reported in the indirect use of MOFs, catalytic active substances can be compounded into MOFs materials through in-situ growth, forming a synergistic effect to improve the efficiency of degradation by means of carbonization or pyrolysis of MOFs, MOFs derived materials can be obtained.
