Abstract
The present invention provides for the use of a metal-organic framework (MOF) in removing particular chemical species or compounds, in particular oxy-anions of iodate, from a liquid or liquid stream. In some embodiments, the MOF is a Zr-based MOF, such as NU-1000 or MOF-808. The Zr-based MOF, including NU-1000 or MOF-808 can be used to remove these oxy-anions from various liquid streams or liquids in industrial processes such as a nuclear and fossil fuel power plants.
