Metal Organic Frameworks: Desulfurization Process by Engineered Novel Adsorbents

Abstract Removal of sulfur‐containing compounds from liquid and gas steams originated from various processes of chemical industries would be essential, since these compounds can be the principal sources of deterioration and environmental degradation, and pollution even at low threshold concentration levels. The metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) compromise a wide‐ranging of chemical structure designs with adjustable pore size and high promising surface area for the desulfurization process. In this review study, the current published studies and researches about sulfur removal in liquid and gas purification processes using MOFs as highly effective adsorbents and catalysts are systematically gathered and compared. According to the broad contextual information for sulfur removal using different MOFs in this study, it is called for new insight windows opened for the advance progresses in this area and the project of new and more effective MOF‐based sorbents.
