Anionic dyes contaminate water and severely disrupt aquatic ecosystems, urgently demanding effective treatment solutions for safety. This study explores the synthesis of unsaturated MIL-101(Cr) and its exceptional performance in removing anionic dyes from polluted water systems. The synthesized MIL-101(Cr) exhibits medium Lewis’s acid and strong Brønsted acid sites, a high specific surface area (>3000 m 2 /g), and a Zeta potential of 30 mV, contributing to its strong adsorption capability. Adsorption studies reveal Langmuir isotherm model fitting, with maximum adsorption capacities of 4231, 1266, and 568 mg/g for Acid Blue 92, Congo Red, and Acid Blue 90, respectively. The chemisorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics and is spontaneous and exothermic. MIL-101(Cr) demonstrates chemical and water stability, maintaining over 80% removal efficiency after five recycling cycles. This research provides valuable insights into treating anionic dye-contaminated wastewater using MIL-101(Cr) as an efficient adsorbent.
