Iron Oxyhydroxide-Covalent Organic Framework Nanocomposite for Efficient As(III) Removal in Water.

ABSTRACT: The presence of heavy metal ions in water is an environmental issue derived mainly from industrial and mineral contamination. Metal ions such as Cd(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), or As(III) are a significant health concern worldwide because of their high toxicity, mobility, and persistence. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging class of crystalline organic porous materials that exhibit very interesting properties such as chemical stability, tailored design, and low density. COFs also allow the formation of composites with remarkable features because of the synergistic combination effect of their components. These characteristics make them suitable for various applications, among which water remediation is highly relevant. Herein, we present a novel nanocomposite of iron oxyhydroxide@COF
