Antibiotic pollutants from pharmaceutical waste pose a severe threat to ecosystems. This study explores the use of gallium-metal organic frameworks (Ga-MOFs) and imide-functionalized MOFs (F-MOFs) for antibiotic removal through adsorption. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we evaluated adsorption amikacin (AMC), kanamycin (KMC), tobramycin (TMC) on MOF F-MOF surfaces. The simulation results suggest that these adsorbents could be effective in adsorbing significant portion antibiotics. π-π stacking interactions contributed strong binding between antibiotics substrates. Additionally, metadynamics simulations revealed free energy minima –254.29 KJ/mol KMC/MOFs –187.62 KMC/F-MOFs, confirming complex stability. theoretical approach highlights potential Ga-MOF-based materials mitigating pollution's environmental health impacts.
