In this work, amide bonds linked 2D porphyrin-based covalent organic framework (Por-PD-COF) was designed and synthesized through condensation reaction between meso -tetrakis ( p -carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) and para -phenylenediamine (PD). Large surface area, abundant active sites and good stability of Por-PD-COF made it can quickly and efficiently absorb methylene blue (MB) selectively and remove it from aqueous solution. More importantly, in different mixture of organic dyes including RhB and MB, MB and MO, Por-PD-COF can selectively adsorb MB with a large adsorption capacity (328.57 mg·g −1 ), while a little MO and hardly RhB because of the unique charge selectivity and specific pore size. Especially in the mixture solution of MO and MB, compatitive adsorption appeared, MB can substitute the adsorbed MO on the active sites in the channel of Por-PD-COF. Furthermore, with the band gap narrow to 1.02 eV, Por-PD-COF could be used as efficient photocatalyst to degrade MB (99%, 180 min) directly under visible light irradiation, and can be reused for four times with almost no absorptive and photocatalytic capacity losing. The possible adsorption and photocatalytic mechanisms of Por-PD-COF were also proposed. As a result, with the uncomplicated preparation, effective and selective adsorption and reusability, Por-PD-COF was a promising specific adsorbent and photocatalyst for further application in specific organic molecules separation and organic waste removal from aqueous solution.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have a wide application prospect in wastewater treatment because of their unique structure and properties; however, the preparation of pure COF membranes remains a great challenge by reason of the insolubility and unprocessability of COF powders formed at high temperature and high pressure. In this study, a continuous and defect-free bacterial cellulose/covalent organic framework composite membrane was prepared by using bacterial cellulose (BC) and a porphyrin-based COF with their unique structures and hydrogen bonding forces. The dye rejection rate of this composite membrane toward methyl green and congo red was up to 99%, and the permeance was about 195 L m–2 h–1 bar–1. It showed excellent stability under different pH conditions, long-time filtration, and cyclic experimental conditions. In addition, the hydrophilicity and surface negativity of the BC/COF composite membrane made it have certain antifouling performance, and the flux recovery rate can reach 93.72%. More importantly, the composite membrane exhibited excellent antibacterial properties due to the doping of the porphyrin-based COF, and the survival rates of both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were less than 1% after exposure to visible light. The self-supporting BC/COF composite membrane synthesized by this strategy also has outstanding antifouling and antibacterial properties, in addition to excellent dye separation effects, which greatly broaden the application of COF materials in water treatment.
