Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Adsorption and Degradation of Microplastics

Microplastics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 4(1), P. 11 - 11

Published: March 1, 2025

Microplastics (MPs) are currently a serious environmental problem, primarily due to their persistence in the environment, low concentration, and difficulty detection disposal. MPs have also been detected humans shown be harmful. Although there methodologies for recovery or elimination most water treatment plants, significant portion still bypasses these systems. It is this percentage that we must try eliminate. In addition finding new of MPs, it important find materials adapted process. context, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) high-versatility compounds can synthesized using different techniques obtain with properties, such as porosity, morphology, conductivity, etc. These adsorb ways, electrostatic interaction, bond formation, etc., they obtained by containing metals catalyze reactions formation highly reactive species oxidize MPs. This review examines how MOF gained attention adsorption-based removal discusses problems associated possible solutions.

A Cyclic Graywater Treatment Model for Sustainable Wastewater Management Applied in a Small Scale

Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(5), P. 2836 - 2836

Published: March 6, 2025

Water scarcity presents a critical challenge to global sustainability, exacerbated by population growth, climate change, and environmental pollution. In this context, graywater reuse has emerged as promising solution, offering substantial water savings with significant potential for agricultural applications. However, efficient treatment methods are essential ensure safe reuse, contaminants vary depending on the source. This study introduces cyclic system that integrates both mechanical biological filtration processes. A key feature of is inclusion Chenopodium quinoa, resilient plant known its phytoremediation potential, which enhances efficiency facilitates contaminant removal. The examines impact treated soil quinoa properties, focusing suitability irrigation. results show significantly improves quality, enhancing removal microbiological contaminants, such BOD, decrease ranging from 31.33 mg O2/L 15.74 observed after treatment. For COD, average values decreased 102.64 54.19 treatment, making compliant Tunisian regulation NT 106.03 WHO guidelines. Cyclic reduced microbial load graywater. example, E. coli, 0.87 log 10/100 mL in RGW 0.58 GWT3. demonstrate process can predict quality beyond three tested stages. highlights plant-based systems an eco-friendly scalable approach sustainable management agriculture.
