Metal-Organic framework-based Wood Aerogel for Effective Removal of Micro/Nano plastics

AI summary Read the abstract

A zinc metal-organic framework composite grown on wood aerogel fibers (ZIF-8@Aerogel) achieved removal efficiencies of 91.4% for PVDF nanoplastics and 85.8% for polystyrene nanoplastics from simulated water and seawater. This durable, high-performance material offers a promising route for capturing nano- and microplastic particles that conventional water treatment processes cannot effectively remove.

Recent advancements in the field of functional adsorbents for use in removing microplastics

AI summary Read the abstract

This review surveys functional adsorbents—including porous carbon materials, organic-inorganic hybrids, and metal oxides—for removing microplastics from wastewater, emphasizing affordability, reusability, and capture efficiency as key advantages. Effective wastewater treatment is a critical control point for preventing microplastics from reaching drinking water, aquatic ecosystems, and ultimately the food chain and human tissues.
