This study investigated the removal of dimethylamine (DMA) by an adsorption mechanism using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The synthesis of the MOFs was performed by solvothermal methods. The characterization of the MOF obtained was made by attenuated 1 total reflectance spectroscopy (ATR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( HNMR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD diffractograms allowed to identify the structure of MOF as Dashkovaite, which has the molecular formula Mg(HCOO) .2H O; while the ATR studies revealed the presence of carbonyl group as most important functional group in the MOF structure. The morphological analysis showed that the MOF crystalline particles had a hexagonal shape, formed from filaments of around 7,5-8 microns in length. Adsorption experiments showed that the MOF had...
