Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) which are a physical adsorption method of wastewater treatment are a kind of special three-dimensional crystal-like constituents built by multipurpose ligands and metallic ion classes, showing an advantage in removal of pollutants from solutions because of its unique properties are convenient for operation, high removal efficiency, and low cost. In this study, we investigated Fe-Mg based metal organic framework, Fe-Mg MOFs which was directly synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The obtained materials were analyzed with XRD, FT-IR, TG-DTG, SEM etc. and used for the treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater. The results showed that it has good adsorption performance for cation dye rhodamine B (RhB) and anion dye methyl orange (MO) in a wide pH range. The Fe-Mg MOF even after the 4<sup>th</sup> run, the Fe-Mg MOF catalyst still maintained nearly the initial catalytic activities. The kinetic studies revealed the adsorption process of the both contaminants obeys a pseudo-second order model. In addition, the equilibrium adsorption data of RhB and MO are in good agreement with Langmuir models. The maximum adsorption capacities are 694.44 and 236.97 mg/g at 308 K respectively.
