Composite metal–organic frameworks combine large and accessible surface areas with low density and high stability. Herein, we present novel nanocomposites of polypyrrole/aluminum fumarate metal–organic framework (PPy/AlFu MOF), which were synthesized via in situ oxidative polymerization with the aim of MOF functionalization to enhance its thermal stability and increase the specific surface area so that these nanocomposites may be used as potential adsorbents. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by various techniques, such as powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The successful functionalization of aluminum fumarate MOF was confirmed by FTIR, and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of the PPy/MOF nanocomposite slightly increased from 795 to 809 m2/g. Thermogravimetric analysis data also show that the weight loss of the composite is up to 30% at temperatures up to 500 ℃. Remarkably, lead (50 ppm) sequestration using the composite was tested, and the atomic absorption spectrometry data demonstrate that PPy/MOF is a super-adsorbent for heavy metal ions. This work shows that the novel polymer–MOF composites are promising materials for the selective removal of lead from wastewater streams.

Composite adsorption materials combine the advantages of various adsorptive materials and compensate for the defects of single adsorbents. Magnetic montmorillonite (MMMT) shows good adsorption properties for Pb(II). In order to further improve the adsorption properties of MMMT, in this work, Zn-BDC, a kind of metal–organic framework (MOF), was modified onto the surface of MMMT by in situ polymerization. The composite material MMMT@Zn-BDC was characterized by Zetasizer, SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, VSM, and XPS. The influence of adsorption conditions on the adsorption capacity of MMMT@Zn-BDC for Pb(II) was examined, including the adsorbent dosage, pH of Pb(II) solution, initial concentration of Pb(II), and the temperature and adsorption time. Also, the adsorption mechanism was studied. The results of this study show that MMMT@Zn-BDC adsorbs Pb(II) via chemisorption. In addition, MMMT@Zn-BDC exhibits good potential for adsorbing Pb(II), including its high adsorption capacity (724.64 mg/g) and good recyclability.
