ABSTRACT
Environmental pollution nature of heavy metals and metalloids has received
considerable attention. Heavy metals have a great tendency to form complexes,
especially with biological ligands containing N, S, and O atoms leading to many
toxicological and carcinogenic effects. Separation processes performed by
distillation, extraction, condensation, evaporation, crystallization, and filtration
consume about half the total energy used in the chemical industry. Great
developments in the field of coordination polymers have been achieved recently,
especially in production with a large membrane area, modification for better
performance, and application. They have large surface areas and well-defined
pore structures. These prepared nano materials 2D structure will be
characterized using IR, Raman; SEM; BET; AFM; XRD in addition to adsorption
capacity, water stability and toxicity studies.
