Abstract

A method is presented to immobilize Cu-BTC metal-organic framework (MOF-199) particles by enmeshing them in nonwoven polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers creating a fibrous membrane with the potential ability to remove chemical warfare agents or pesticides from solution. These membranes were shown to effectively adsorb methyl parathion, an organophosphate pesticide. Based on solubility theory and experimental results, partitioning was determined to be the main mechanism of removal. After 2 hours, the PAN/MOF-199 membranes removed 88 % more methyl parathion than the unmodified PAN membranes and 62 % as much as the MOF-199 crystal powder. Since the MOF particles were enmeshed in the PAN fiber mats, the MOF particles were in a workable and flexible substrate. Potential applications of these functionalized fibrous membranes include protective clothing for agricultural workers or military personnel as well as filtration media.
