The current research focus is to develop some systematic materials for the removal of hazardous dyes from water to save the aquatic environment. We have reported the in-situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) on zinc layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH) and the developed porous composite material (ZIF-8@ZnAl-LDH) for adsorptive elimination of malachite green (MG) and methyl orange (MO) from water. The adsorption parameters and organic dyes removal efficiency of ZnAl-LDH, ZIF-8 and ZIF-8@ZnAl-LDH has been determined by considering factors such as dye concentration, time for adsorption and pH of dye solutions. Results showed that ZIF-8@ZnAl-LDH has good adsorption capacity (q_max, 194.5 mg. g⁻¹) for MG as compared to ZnAl-LDH (60.6 mg. g⁻¹) and ZIF-8 (155.27 mg. g⁻¹). Furthermore, ZIF-8@ZnAl-LDH also showed good adsorption capacity (q_max, 609.7 mg. g⁻¹) for methyl …
