By adopting this tool, we could synthesize ZIF-8, CuBTC, and MIL-100(Fe) in multi gram-scale and successfully employ MIL-100(Fe)-KG for the efficient (ca. 98%) removal of an organic dye (methylene blue) from aqueous solution. In particular, we demonstrated the significance of pore aperture for effective dye adsorption by comparing the adsorption behaviours of ZIF-8-KG and MIL-100(Fe)-KG. We believe that this approach could be of economic interest towards the green synthesis of porous adsorbents for waste-water treatment.1 aSamal, Mahalaxmi1 aPanda, Jagannath1 aBiswal, Bishnu, P.1 aSahu, Rojalin  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/kitchen-grinder-tool-synthesis-metal-organic-frameworks-towards-size-selective-dye
