<div><b>Abstract</b></div><div>A new synthesis method was developed to prepare an aluminum-based metal organic framework (MIL-96) with a larger particle size and different crystal habits. A low cost and water-soluble polymer, hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), was added in varying quantities into the synthesis reaction to achieve >200% particle size enlargement with controlled crystal morphology. The modified adsorbent, MIL-96-RHPAM2, was systematically characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET and TGA-MS. Using activated carbon (AC) as a reference adsorbent, the effectiveness of MIL-96-RHPAM2 for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) removal from water was examined. The study confirms stable morphology of hydrated MIL-96-RHPAM2 particles as well as a superior PFOA adsorption capacity (340 mg/g) despite its lower surface area, relative to standard MIL-96. MIL-96-RHPAM2 suffers from slow adsorption kinetics as the modification significantly blocks pore access. The strong adsorption of PFOA by MIL-96-RHPAM2 was associated with the formation of electrostatic bonds between the anionic carboxylate of PFOA and the amine functionality present in the HPAM backbone. Thus, the strongly held PFOA molecules in the pores of MIL-96-RHPAM2 were not easily desorbed even after eluted with a high ionic strength solvent (500 mM NaCl). Nevertheless, this simple HPAM addition strategy can still chart promising pathways to impart judicious control over adsorbent particle size and crystal shapes while the introduction of amine functionality onto the surface chemistry is simultaneously useful for enhanced PFOA removal from contaminated aqueous systems.<br></div>

In this study, copper-based metal-organic framework was successfully synthesized using natural polysaccharide, gum Arabic (gA, Acacia Senegal) as potential organic linker by adopting the synthesis method from Misran et al. with some modifications. The copper-based metal-organic framework (CuMOF) was obtained from the combination of copper salt, natural polysaccharide, and terephthalic acid (H2BDC) at various ratio. The synthesis process was done with the addition of triethylamine (TEA) as catalyst. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern exhibited the presence of a prominent peak assigned to (200), (400), (511), (731), (773), and (882) crystal plane almost similar to the octahedral copper-based MOF-199. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) shown an agglomeration and flaky particle. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDX) shown three main elements exist inside the Cu-MOF which is carbon (C), copper (Cu), and oxygen (O). This study showed the possibility of natural polysaccharide as new, non-toxic, water soluble linker. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) analyses of as-synthesized Cu-MOF exhibited three different weight losses when heated to ca. 600oC. The first mass decrease was due to loss of water content followed by the loss of organic moieties inside the Cu-MOF framework and the last was due to the collapse of MOF’s structure leaving metal oxide as the final residue. The Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra suggested strong absorption band at ca. 900 – 1200 cm-1 attributable to C-O bonding, at ca. 1045 cm-1 attributable to C-H bonding originating from gum Arabic, at ca. 1500 – 1600 cm-1 from the organic linker benzene ring, and at ca. 3200 – 3500 cm-1 from hydrogen bonding. These results suggested that natural polysaccharide of gum Arabic exhibited the possibility to become a new, non-toxic, renewable linker for the MOF materials and played a significant role in metal-organic framework formation.
