Summary

Researchers integrated a 3D metal-organic framework into hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes to simultaneously remove microplastics, dyes, and heavy metals from contaminated water, demonstrating that the MOF-modified membrane achieves high pollutant rejection with lower energy demand than conventional treatment approaches.

The rapid build-up of hazardous pollutants from industrialization has led to contamination of aquatic ecosystems with microplastics (MPs), dyes, and heavy metals, creating environmental and public health risks that necessitate effective advanced water purification methods. Traditional techniqu...
