In recent years, environmental pollution has become more serious, especially the organic pollutants. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials used to degrade pollutants recently. Among them, Materials Institute Lavoisier frameworks (MILs) have been widely engaged due to their good stability and unique structural characteristics. This paper systematically analyses and summarizes the progress of MILs in degradation of organic pollutant by Fenton reaction in recent years. The MILs, especially four types of MILs, including MIL-100, MIL-101, MIL-88, and MIL-53, are first described and classified. Then, the common synthesis methods (hydrothermal synthesis, steam-assisted synthesis, and microwave-assisted synthesis) of MIL are summarized and compared. Modification and activation of MILs to obtain good degradation effect are also introduced and discussed. Finally, the applications of MILs in Fenton reaction are reviewed and their future development is prospected.

Multi-scale fractures in Northwest Oilfield are extremely developed. Fractures in both oil flow channels and water channels lead to the phenomenon of water channeling in the later stages of reservoir development, which may be affected by the bottom water cone. Gel plugging agents are widely used in the treatment of this phenomenon because of their low cost and high-water plugging efficiency. However, because there is often residual oil in small-scale fractures, the pressure law of different grades of differential fractures on gel is not clear, thus leading to low gel application efficiency and low oil recovery. There is still a lack of effective means through which to understand the regularity of shielding the remaining oil with gel strength and fractures of different grades. In this study, we conducted a novel analysis of the law of shielding oil production in fractured reservoirs. The gelling and rheological properties of anti-temperature gels (ATGs) with different strengths were studied. The plugging rate of oil phase was 96.39%, and that of water phase was 25.37%. ATG showed good oil–water selectivity. The influences of different grades of differential fractures on the production law of shielding the remaining oil were also studied, as well as the corresponding influence law chart. When the gel strength was in the range of 2.0–28.1 Pa and the fracture grade difference was 5–10, the recovery ratio was increased by 10.6–24%. The enhanced oil recovery can be quantitatively predicted by the scale of reservoir fractures and the strength of gel used. It has a certain guiding role for the field application of gel to efficiently shield residual oil in differential fractures.
