Abstract: A comprehensive physical chemistry experiment has been designed about the preparation and adsorption performance of metal-organic gel based on cutting-edge scientific research. FeBTC metal-organic gel was prepared by simple mixing of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and ferric nitrate, and FeBTC was dried using different drying techniques. The structure of FeBTC was investigated. The specific surface area of FeBTC was determined through N2 adsorption and desorption isotherms. The adsorption kinetics of FeBTC towards Cr2O72− was studied for wastewater treatment.

Key words: Metal-organic gels, Adsorption kinetics, Drying techniques
