Abstract

Introduction: Hybrid inorganic/organic nanoparticles are used to make nanocompo-sites. These nanocomposites combine the different properties of the organic polymer and the inorganic nanoparticles, which improves the overall system properties.

Methods: In this research work, Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticle (MSN), amino-functionalized MSNs, and Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) were synthesized using a special approach. In this work, in order to take advantage of the properties and characteristics of both porous nanomaterials and porous nanocomposites of COF-grown MSN were synthesized by a special method and with two approaches, and the porosity of the nanocomposites and synthesized na-nomaterials was analyzed by BET analysis.

Results: The synthesis of the products was confirmed by XRD, TGA, EDS, FT-IR, FE-SEM, TEM, and Zeta potential analyses. The heavy metals zinc and cadmium were removed using these nanomaterials as an inorganic/organic hybrid adsorbent in the following, and various ab-sorption properties were examined in these nanoabsorbents.

Conclusion: The removal of heavy metals from these hybrid nanoabsorbents is particularly effective.
