Removal of Abamectin Insecticide from Water Resources Using Magnetic Metal-Organic Framework Based Nanocomposite Fe۳O۴/ZIF-۶۷

Pollution of water resources caused by excessive pesticide use is a global issue that has grown alongside agricultural development and the demand for safe food production. Pesticides can effectively control pests and enhance crop quality; however, their excessive use may result in chronic disorders in humans and other living organisms. Therefore, providing an efficient and low-cost method for removing pesticides in the environment is essential. Metal-organic framework (MOFs) based nanocomposites hold a distinguished position due to their high capability in removing various pollutants. Therefore, in this study, magnetic metal-organic framework nanocomposites of the ZIF-۶۷ type (Fe۳O۴/ZIF-۶۷) were used for the removal of abamectin insecticide from water resources. After the synthesis of the desired nanocomposite, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis was used to examine its structure and surface morphology. The results indicated that the nanocomposite was successfully synthesized and that Fe۳O۴ nanoparticles were deposited on the ZIF-۶۷. The optimal conditions for the nanocomposite to remove the target pesticide were determined by varying pH, time, and dosage. The results showed that under optimal conditions, the removal percentage reached ۹۶%. Nanocomposites can be used as a novel technology to remove pesticides from aquatic environments, thereby aiding in the protection of human health and the ecosystem.
