AbstractIn this work, a new and efficient composite LDH with high adsorption power using layered double hydroxide (LDH), 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (THAM) was designed and prepared, which was used as an adsorbent to adsorb diazinon from contaminated water. The chemical composition and morphology of the adsorbent were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques. Also, the optimal conditions for adsorption of diazinon from water were determined by LDH@TDI@THAM composite. Various parameters like the effect of adsorbent dosage, pH, concentration and contact time of diazinon were studied to determine the optimal adsorption conditions. Then, different isotherm models and kinetic adsorption were used to describe the equilibrium data and kinetic. Also, the maximum adsorption capacity s btained when the pH of the solution is 7. The maximum adsorption capacity for LDH@TDI@THAM composite was 1000 mg/g at 65 °C and the negative values of ΔG indicate that the adsorption process is spontaneous. After that, studying the reusability of LDH@TDI@THAM composite showed that the removal of diazinon by LDH@TDI@THAM was possible for up to four periods without a significant decrease in performance.

IntroductionToday, the widespread use of pesticides for pest control and agricultural development, as well as improper wastewater disposal has led to surface and groundwater pollution, hence removal and Adsorption from water resources is very important1,2,3,4. Chemical pesticides enter surface and groundwater sources through various means such as direct washing of pesticides, sewage disposal, agricultural drainage water, erosion and air, which threatens human health and the environment, thus leading to there has been considerable concern5,6,7,,9.Various techniques tha have been studied to remove pesticides from contaminated water include coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation, membrane filtration, adsorption, and advanced oxidation processes, and biodegradation10,11,12,13,14,15,16. Each of these proposed methods is less considered due to disadvantages such as high investment costs, poor performance and secondary pollution and is used in a limited way in wastewater treatment17,18,19. Hence, absorption has received considerable attention because of simple efficiency, use on a large scale, regenerative capacity, and cost of removing contaminants from water20,21. Today, organophosphate pesticides are widely used around the world for pest control due to the ban on the use of organochlorine insecticides22,23. Organophosphate compounds are one of the broad and diverse groups of toxic compounds that include pesticides. Organophosphate pesticides are relatively volatile and are very dangerous as neurotoxins to humans and animals. Dazinon with the formulatio of O,O-diethyl O-[6-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-4-pyrimidinyl] phosphorothioate can be used as an organophosphate insecticide for eliminating flies and mites in a variety of plant and ornamental products in agriculture and home because of its low cost and high efficiency24,25,26,27. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified it as a second-class pesticide in terms of toxicity28,29,30. Diazinon is one of the inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Therefore, its removal from water resources is very important. The highest permissible concentration of this pesticide in drinking water is 0.1 µg/l, which is higher than this limit and has destructive effects on living organisms31.Diazinon can be removed from aqueous solutions by various methods such as biochemical decomposition32, membrane separation33, oxidation34, photocatalysis35 and adsorption36. Also, Among the various types of methods mentioned, adsorption due to simplicity, biocompatibility and igh efficiency as a more apropriate method of removing diazinon from water sources has received much attention. Hence, in the past decades, various adsorbents such as magnetic materials37, carbon nanotubes38, silica particles39, organic porous polymers40 and nano-adsorbents41,42 have been reported to remove diazinon.Two-dimensional nanomaterials of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with sheet-like structures due to their various desirable properties have many applications in various fields43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50. LDHs as a new and widely used class of natural or synthetic anionic mineral layered nanomaterials with the formula [M2+(1−x) M3+(x) (OH)2]x+ An−x . yH2O where M2+ is a divalent metal ion (Zn2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, etc.), M3+ is a trivalent metal ion (V3+, Ga3+, Al3+, etc.), and An is an anion. The charge density of LDH layers (CO23−, NO−3, Cl−) is x = M3+/M2+  + M3+, which is between 0.2 and 0.33 for pure LDH47,51.Adsorbents based on layered double hydroxide (LDH) have provided a new ath for the design and prepaation of new adsorbents for the degradation of pollutants52,53. These adsorbents because of their very good physical and chemical properties, adjustable interlayer distance, high anion exchange capacity, wide light absorption range, special layer structure, ease of synthesis, low cost and recyclability have special place among the adsorbents54.
Therefore, in this work, according to the mentioned contents about the importance of removing diazinon insecticide from aqueous solutions, an efficient and reusable adsorbent with good adsorption capacity was designed and prepared. Also, a facile approach is used to fabricate an environmentally-friendly composite adsorbent comprising LDH and organic compounds for the removal of organophosphate insecticide contaminants (e.g. diazinon). The components of this novel composite as absorbent include tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (THAM) grafted on the surface of LDH by organic bridges (2,4-toluene diisocyanate). THAM and ,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI)groups placed on the surface and between the LDH layers have increased the adsorption capacity on the LDH surface by increasing the functional groups effective (NH2, OH, and aromatic rings) in diazinon absorption. Hence, the composite prepared (LDH@TDI@THAM) here was used as a strong adsorbent with high adsorption capacity to remove diazinon insecticide from aqueous solutions. The performance of the synthesized nanocomposite has been investigated by changing various factors such as dye concentration, removal temperature, pH, adsorbent dose, and adsorbent recyclability. The isotherms and adsorption kinetics of fabricated composite have been also investigated to show the effect of LDH@TDI@THAM composite on the adsorption of diazinon.Results and discussionLDH@TDI@THAM composite characterizationThe successful synthesis of LDH@TDI@THAM composite was confirmed by different techniques such as FTIR, EDX, XRD, FESEM, and TGA.Figure 1 shows FTIR spectra obtained forboth the Zn–Al LDH and LDH@TDITHAM composite. The adsorption band at 3425 cm−1 related to the stretching vibration of O–H bond (Fig. 1a). The adsorption bands at 1616 and 1356 cm−1 are related to the bending vibration of H–O–H in water and interlamellar nitrate anions. The absorption bands between 879 and 475 cm−1 are attributed to the vibration of M–O bonds (M can be Al or Zn)55.Figure 1FTIR spectra obtained for (a) Zn–Al LDH, and (b) LDH@TDI@THAM composite.Full size imageThe FTIR spectrum of LDH@TDI@THAM composite is shown in Fig. 1b. The band at 3328 cm−1 corresponds to the vibration of the OH in LDH, and THAM while the band at 2973 cm−1 is related to the stretching vibration of C–H bond in THAM. In addition, the adsorption bands at 1735 cm−1 and 1654 cm−1 can be attributed to the stretching vibration of carbonyl in ester and amide groups in the composite, respectively. The bands between 1036 and 559 cm−1 belong to the Metal-O and Al–OH bonds.Figure 2 shows the EDX analysis of LDH@DI@THAM composite, in which thepresence of elements C (52.40%), O (26.39%), N (12.81%), Al (4.28%) and Zn (4.12%) well proves the formation of the composite.Figure 2EDX spectra of LDH@TDI@THAM composite.Full size imageAs can be seen, The XRD patterns of Zn–Al LDH and LDH@TDI@THAM composites are presented in Fig. 3. Also, Fig. 3a, there are symmetrical and sharp reflections at 2θ of 14.80°, 17.55°, 24.04°, 31.25°, 35.59°, 39.30°, 47.75°, 57.99°, and 63.01°, respectively, which determine the structure of Zn–Al LDH56.Figure 3XRD patterns of (a) Zn–Al LDH, and (b) LDH@TDI@THAM composite.Full size imageIn addition, The XRD pattern of LDH@TDI@THAM composite is shown in Fig. 3b, which approves the existence of Zn–Al LDH along with other components of the prepared composite. The peaks related to Zn–Al LDH can be clearly seen at 12.80°, 19.14°, 26.47°, 29.98°, 36.27° and 60.54° which is the displacement of the peaks due to its composite with THAM. The well-known amorphous halo at 2θ = 20–30° cearly confirms the amorphous natre of THAM in the synthesized composite.FESEM images of Zn–Al LDH and LDH@TDI@THAM composites are shown in Fig. 4. As can be seen FESEM images Zn–Al LDH shows regular and stacked hexagonal plates (Fig. 4a and b). In addition, images c–f show the morphology of the prepared composite. this images can clearly be seen to increase the diameter of the composite plate compared to raw LDH. Therefore, due to the placement of other components of the composite next to the LDH, the final structure has been created in the form of irregular plates with a larger diameter. This irregularity and increase in diameter can indicate that the composite has been prepared successfully.Figure 4FESEM images of Zn–Al LDH (a and b) and LDH@TDI@THAM composites (c–f).Full size imageUsing TGA analysis, the thermal stability of LDH@TDI@THAM composite was investigated (Fig. 5). TGA curve shows two weight reductions in the region of 100–150 °C and 200–480 °C, the first decrease is relatd to the removal of water and solent molecules absorbed between the layers and the surface of the composite. Also, the second reduction that occurred in the region of 200–480 °C is related to the decomposition of the organic parts of the prepared composite structure. In addition, the curve from the temperature of 480 °C has a constant slope, which is related to the mineral parts (Zn–Al LDH) of the composite.Figure 5TGA curve of the LDH@TDI@THAM composite.Full size imageAdsorption experimentsExperiments were performed for checking the effect of important adsorption parameters including concentration, adsorbent dose, temperature, time, and pH on diazinon pesticide adsorption in LDH@TDI@THAM composite. After performing the desired tests, filtration was used to remove the adsorbent from the aqueous solution. The maximum absorbance of diazinon was considered as the absorbance value. Diazinon concentration was checked using UV–vis spectrophotometer. The elimination efficiency and the adsorpion capacity (qe) (mg/g) of diazinn were studied by Eqs. (1) and (2):$$mathrm{Removal, \%}=frac{left({mathrm{C}}_{0}- {mathrm{C}}_{mathrm{e}}

diazinon concentration (Co (mg/L)), equilibrium concentration of diazinon (Ce (mg/L)) value of sorbent (W (mg)) and volume of diazinon solution (V (L)).Effect of concentrationNext, to find out the optimal concentration of diazinon, 1 mg of absorbent was added to 25 mL of solution having various concentrations of diazinon (10–50 mg/L) with pH = 7 at 25 °C for 60 min. Afterward, filtration was applied to separate the adsorbent from the solution. The absorption was analyzed by using UV–vis spectrophotometer at wavelength of 247 nm. The obtained values for the maximum absorption showed that the concentration of 40 mg/L can be considered as the optimal conentration for diazinon absorption (Fig. 6).
Figure Effect of concentration for the adsorption of diazinon (C0 = 10–50 mg/L, pH = 7, T = 25 °C, m = 1 mg, t = 60 min).Full size imageEffect of adsorbent doseDifferent amounts of the adsorbent (1–9 mg) were used to investigate the absorption of diazinon pesticide in the presence of LDH@TDI@THAM composite. As shown in Fig. 7, the adsorption capacity of diazinon decreases when the amount of the adsorbent increases from 1 to 9 mg. Therefore, this decrease in the adsorption capacity of diazinon by LDH@TDI@THAM composite is due to the accumulation of adsorbent particles, followed by less access to the active sites of the adsorbent. Thus, by increasing the value of LDH@TDI@THAM composite, the number of empty sites available for diazinon absorption, hence, leads to a decrease in diazinon absorption.Figure 7Effect of the amount of the adsorbent on the diazinon adsorption.Full size imageEffect of temperatureIn various temperatures (25, 40, 65, 80, nd 90 °C), the effect of temperature on capacity of n–Al LDH composite for diazinon adsorption was investigated (Fig. 8). As can be seen in Fig. 8, adsorption capacity decreases by increasing the temperature from 25 to 40 °C. At temperatures higher than 40 °C, the adsorption capacity further decreases, indicating the exothermic nature of diazinon adsorption on the LDH@TDI@THAM composite adsorbent.Figure 8Effect of temperature on the diazinon adsorption.Full size imageEffect of timeAdsorption kinetics of diazinon absorption with an optimal amount of adsorbent (i.e., 1 mg) at pH 7 was investigated at different times (15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min). Figure 9 shows in equilibrium time (60 min), diazinon has the highest adsorption capacity owing to the presence of more vacancies on the LDH@TDI@THAM composite surface. Also, with the time increases from 60 to 120 min, the adsorption capacity of diazinon decreases. This reduction in absorption is probably due to the formation of a single layer f diazinon on the LDH@TDI@THAM composite surface. In ddition, it is possible that this decrease is due to insufficient free space for absorption after equilibrium is reached. It can be seen that the adsorption capacity increases by further increasing the adsorption time from 15 to 60 min. Therefore, 60 min was chosen as the optimal contact time.Figure 9Effect of time on the diazinon adsorption.Full size imageInfluence of solution pHFigure 10 shows the dependence of diazinon absorption on the pH of the solution. Diazinon absorption was measured at different pH (1–9) to determine the optimal pH value. As can be seen, the maximum adsorption capacity is obtained when the pH of the solution is 7. Also, decreasing or increasing the pH from 7 will decrease the absorption capacity.Figure 10Effect of pH for the adsorption of diazinon (C0 = 40 mg/L, pH = 7, T = 25 °C, m = 1 mg, t = 60 min).Full size imageKinetics studyDiazinon absorption kinetics was investigated in the presence of 1 mg of adsobent, concentration 40 mg/L, time 60 min, temperature 0 °C, and pH 7. Stirring of the mixture was performed for 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. In addition, the solutions were filtered to confidence the absence of adsorbents. For analyzing the kinetic data of diazinon adsorption, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models were applied according to Eqs. (3) and (4), respectively.$$mathrm{log }({mathrm{q}}_{mathrm{e}} – {mathrm{q}}_{mathrm{t}})=mathrm{ log }{mathrm{q}}_{mathrm{e}}-left(frac{{mathrm{K}}_{1}}{2.303}

where k1 (1/min) is the first-order adsorption kinetic, k2 (g/mg.min) is the second-order adsorption kinetic, qt (mg/g) is the adsorption capacity, and qe (mg/g) is the adsorption capacity in time. Various kinetic models related to diazinon adsortion are summarized in Fig. 11 and Table 1. The correlation coefficient(R2) of pseudo-first-order (a) and pseudo-second-order models (b) for LDH@TDI@THAM composite was 0.9956 and 0.9988, respectively. Therefore, the results show that the adsorption of diazinon on LDH@TDI@THAM composite follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.Figure 11Kinetics of diazinon adsorption by LDH@TDI@THAM composite: pseudo-first-order (a), and pseudo-second-order (b) models.Full size imageTable 1 Kinetic parameters for diazinon adsorption on LDH@TDI@THAM composite.Full size tableAdsorption isothermsFreundlich (Eq. 5), Langmuir (Eq. 6), and Temkin (Eq. 7) isotherms were also applied for more check the diazinon adsorption on LDH@TDI@THAM composite.$${mathrm{lnq}}_{mathrm{e}}={mathrm{lnK}}_{mathrm{F}}+left(frac{1}{mathrm{n}}

Ce (mg/L) is the diazinon concentration, qe (mg/g) is the adsorption capacity of the diazinon in optimal conditions, n and KF (mg/g) are Freundlich constants, AT is the equilibrium binding constant (L/mg) and B is the Temkin constant.Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin isotherms for diazinon adsorption on LDH@TDI@THAM composite are compared in Fig. 12. It can be seen that Freundlich isotherm shows higher correlation coefficient (R2) than Langmuir and Temkin isotherms, which indicates that the diazinon adsorption on the LDH@TDI@THAM composite is more compatible with the Freundlich isotherm. Also, the maximum adsorption capacity at 40 °C was 1000 mg/g (Table 2).Figure 12(a) Langmuir, (b) Freundlich, and (c) Temkin isotherms obtained for diazinon adsrption on LDH@TDI@THAM composite.Full size imageTable 2 Parameters of Freundlich and Langmuir isoherms for diazinon adsorption on LDH@TDI@THAM composite.Full size tableThermodynamic investigationThe adsorption mechanism was further studied by calculating different thermodynamic parameters (ΔS°, ΔH°, and ΔG°) for diazinon adsorption on LDH@TDI@THAM composite using Eq. (7) and Eq. (8).$${mathrm{lnK}}_{mathrm{d}}=frac{mathrm{Delta S}}{mathrm{R}}-frac{mathrm{Delta H}}{mathrm{RT}}$$

where T (K) is the temperature and R is the gas constant. Figure 13 and Table 3 briefly show the thermodynamic parameters related to diazinon adsorption in LDH@TDI@THAM composite. The obtained results clearly confirm the exothermicity of the diazinon adsorption process on the LDH@TDI@THAM composite (ΔH° = − 4.157 kJ/mol). This value for ΔH° confirms physical adsorption of diazinon on LDHTDI@THAM composite. Also, the value obtained for ΔS° is indicative of high tendency of LDH@TDI@THAM composite for iazinon adsorption.Figure 13The plot of Van’t Hoff equation for diazinon adsorption.Full size imageTable 3 Thermodynamic values for diazinon adsorption on LDH@TDI@THAM composite.Full size tableAdsorption mechanismFigure 14 shows the absorption mechanism of diazinon pesticide removal using LDH@TDI@THAM composite. It is evident that the structure of the LDH@TDI@THAM composite contains three functional groups: OH, NH, and aromatic ring. Hence, the adsorption of diazinon may be due to hydrogen bonding between amine groups and electron-rich oxygen and electrostatic interaction. Also, the LDH@TDI@THAM composite contains benzene rings that can form π–π interactions with the benzene ring of diazinon.Figure 14Schematic representation of diazinon adsorption mechanism on the LDH@TDI@THAM composite.Full size imageRecycling studiesReusability and stability for adsorbent materials durin the adsorption process is an important factor. Thus, to investigate the reusability of LDH@TDI@THAM composite to rmove diazinon in a mixture of NaCl (0.1 M) and HCl (0.1 M) as a detergent agent. For this reason, a mixture of NaCl (0.1 M) and HCl (0.1 M) was used to wash the LDH@TDI@THAM composite, followed by drying at 80 °C for 5 h. Therefore, according to Fig. 15, reusability of the LDH@TDI@THAM composite was investigated for four consecutive periods.

LDH@TDI@THAM composite was characterized by FT-IR (Shimadzu 8400 s), EDX (Numerix DXP-X10P), FESEM (TESCAN-MIRA3), and TGA (Bahr Company STA 504). X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the composite were recorded on TW 1800 diffractometer (λCuKa = 1.54050 Å).General procedure for preparing Zn–Al LDHLDH was prepared via urea-assisted coprecipitation procedure59,60.In a glass flask (200 mL), Zn(NO3)2.6H2O (2.56 g) and Al(NO3)3.9H2O (1.87 g) in aqueous urea solution (3 M, 100 mL) stirred at 100 °C for 12 h. Then, the temperature was reduced to 94 °C and kept in the aging mode for 12 h. Evenually, the prepared Zn–Al LDH was separated by centrifuging and then washed with deionized water to reach pH 7. Then t was dried at 80 °C for 24 h.
Preparation of LDH@TDI@THAM compositeFirst, Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (THAM, 1 g) was dispersed in toluene (10 mL). Then2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI, 1.18 mL) was added and stirred at room temperature for 24 h under N2 atmosphere.In the following, Zn–Al LDH (0.5 g) was added and stirred at room temperature for another 24 h. Finally, the LDH@TDI@THAM composite was centrifuged, then washed with H2O and toluene, finally dried at 85 °C to 18 h (Fig. 18).
