In this paper, two kinds of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), MIL-53­(Al) and MIL-53­(Al)-NH2, were synthesized. Then these MOFs were used to remove methylene blue and malachite green dyes from aqueous solution. Characterizations of MOFs were carried out by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning el...
