Covalent organic framework and montomorillonite nanocomposite as advanced adsorbent: synthesis, characterization, and application in simultaneous adsorption of cationic and anionic dyes.

ABSTRACT: In this work, Schiff base network-1 (SNW-1), as a new generation of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), was synthesized and modified by fabrication of a composite with clay mineral montomorillonite (Mt). It was used for simultaneous removal of anionic and cationic dyes from aqueous solutions. The fabricated composite was characterized successfully with various techniques. Tartrazine (TT) and methylene blue (MB) were selected as model anionic and cationic dyes, respectively. The effects of the percentage of each component in the composite, initial pH, and initial dye concentration were evaluated on the adsorption capacity. Adsorption reaction models and adsorption diffusion models were used to study the kinetic process of adsorption. Adsorption of both dyes reached equilibrium after 40 min.
