[Display omitted] •Amino-MIL-101(Al/Fe) MOFs was applied in high strength phosphate adsorption.•Fast kinetics, high sorption capacity and strong selectivity were demonstrated.•Electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange were identified as the main mechanisms. Although adsorbents for phosphate remov...
