Application of MXenes for emerging contaminant removal and water purification: a revolutionary approach
AI summary Read the abstract
MXene nanomaterials demonstrate strong adsorption and removal capabilities for a broad range of emerging water contaminants, including micro- and nano-plastics, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and PFAS. This review highlights MXenes as a promising next-generation water purification technology capable of simultaneously addressing multiple co-occurring pollutants in microplastic-contaminated water systems.
Removal of Microplastics from Water by Etherification-Modified Starch Composite with Titanium Polysilicate
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a starch-based composite coagulant using etherified corn starch and titanium polysilicate that achieved 95.51% microplastic removal efficiency at 4 mg/L dosage through electrostatic interaction and mesh-trapping mechanisms. This bio-based coagulant is significant because it avoids residual aluminum or iron ions from conventional coagulants, offering a safer water treatment approach that reduces microplastic load in drinking water without introducing additional metal contaminants.
Lightweight MXene-derived TiO2/Pt micromotors for rapid “on-the-fly” sequestration of nanoplastics
AI summary
This review examined chemical contaminants in food, including microplastics, plasticizers, and other plastic-associated chemicals, assessing dietary exposure routes and potential health effects. The review synthesizes regulatory standards and monitoring data to inform food safety risk assessments for plastic-derived contaminants.
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.
