This work presents an investigation on the fabrication and characterization of Fe doped zeolitic imidazolate
framework (ZIF-8) of 1:1 M ratio of Zn:Fe (Fe/Zn-ZIF-8) and adsorption performances of acquired
materials. The synthesized Zn-ZIF-8, Fe-ZIF-8, and Fe/Zn-ZIF-8 materials were characterized for the phase
structure, morphology, elemental analysis and surface area by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission
scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), and BET surface area, respectively.
The results revealed the adsorption capacity was enhanced by incorporation of Fe into ZIF-8
structure. The CR dye adsorption capacities were 287, 219, and 412 mg/g for Zn-ZIF-8, Fe-ZIF-8, and
Fe/Zn-ZIF-8 adsorbers, respectivel
