Technologies for industrial wastewater remediation are evolving rapidly to meet rising demand for clean water. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a group of new age material, are extensively explored for resource recovery from wastewater owing to its high stability and accessible functionalities. This chapter discusses the use of different functionalized MOF for selective recovery of valuable metals from industrial wastewater. The role of functional groups on increasing selectivity toward targeted metals has been analyzed. This chapter also provides development on recovery of rare earth elements using MOF which has gathered momentum due to international trade restrictions. Finally, conclusions on future scope in applying MOF in industrial scale have been discussed.
