Abstract
had no influence on the removal of tetracycline. In addition, π-interactions and metal complexation were proposed as possible adsorption mechanisms through FT-IR and XPS. ZnCu-MOF-74 showed outstanding cyclability performance, preserving its adsorption capacity after 4 adsorption-desorption cycles, besides exhibiting chemical stability, proving the benefits of applying ZnCu-MOF-74 in the water treatment process.
