Facile fabrication of tunable porous zirconium fumarate based metal organic frameworks in the retention of nutrients from water

MOFs possess highly porous nature and enhanced surface area. The synthesized Zr@Fu MOF composite was utilized for NO₃⁻ and PO₄³⁻ removal. At field conditions, Zr@Fu MOF composite reduces NO₃⁻ and PO₄³⁻ concentration below the tolerance limit.
