Abstract
With aggravated abiotic and biotic stresses from increasing climate change, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as versatile toolboxes for developing environmentally friendly agrotechnologies aligned with agricultural practices and safety. Herein, we have explored MOF-based agrotechnologies, focusing on their intrinsic properties, such as structural and catalytic characteristics. Briefly, MOFs possess a sponge-like porous structure that can be easily stimulated by the external environment, facilitating the controlled release of agrochemicals, thus enabling precise delivery of agrochemicals. Additionally, MOFs offer the ability to remove or degrade certain pollutants by capturing them within their pores, facilitating the development of MOF-based remediation technologies for agricultural environments. Furthermore, the metal-organic hybrid nature of MOFs grants them abundant catalytic activities, encompassing photocatalysis, enzyme-mimicking catalysis, and electrocatalysis, allowing for the integration of MOFs into degradation and sensing agrotechnologies. Finally, the future challenges that MOFs face in agrotechnologies were proposed to promote the development of sustainable agriculture practices.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 353:120149. [PMID: 38278114 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
The selection of different organic ligands when synthesizing metal organic framework (MOFs) can change their effects on the adsorption performance. Here, four La-MOFs adsorbents (La-SA, La-FA, La-TA and La-OA) with different organic ligands and structures were synthesized by solvothermal method for phosphate adsorption, and the relationship between their adsorption properties and structures was established. Among four La-MOFs, their phosphate adsorption capacities and adsorption rates followed La-SA > La-FA > La-TA > La-OA. The results indicated that average pore diameter played a key role in phosphate adsorption and there was a positive correlation between average pore diameter and adsorption capacity (R2 = 0.86). Coexisting ion experiments showed that phosphate adsorptions on three La-MOFs (La-SA, La-FA and La-TA) were inhibited in the presence of CO32- and HCO3-. The inhibition of CO32- was the most pronounced and the results of redundancy analysis pointed out that it was mainly due to the change of pH value. In contrast, La-OA showed enhanced phosphate adsorption in the presence of CO32- and HCO3-, and the combination of pH experiments showed that phosphate adsorption by La-OA was increased under alkaline conditions. Further combined with FT-IR, XRD, high resolution energy spectra of XPS (La 3d, P 2p and O 1s) and XANES, the adsorption mechanisms were derived electrostatic attraction, chemical precipitation and inner sphere complexation, and the last two were identified as the main mechanisms. Moreover, it can be identified from XPS 2p that the phosphate adsorption on La-FA and La-OA were mainly in the LaPO4 state, while La-SA and La-TA mainly existed in the form of LaPO4·xH2O crystals and inner sphere complexes. From the perspective of material morphology, this work provides a thought for the rational design of MOFs with adjustable properties for phosphate adsorption.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 353:120169. [PMID: 38290264 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were promising adsorbents for removing antibiotics, but the inherent poor recyclability of MOF powders limits further application. Moreover, the dominant adsorption mechanisms and their quantitative assessment are less studied. Here, ultrahigh adsorption capacities of 821.51 and 931.87 mg g-1 for tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC), respectively, were realised by a novel adsorbents (biochar loaded with MIL-88B(Fe), denoted as BC@MIL-88B(Fe)), which were further immobilised in a 3D porous gelatin (GA) substrate. The obtained BCM/GA200 showed superior adsorption performance under wide pH ranges and under the interference of humic acid. Moreover, it can survive >8 cycles and even maintain high adsorption efficiency in different actual water samples. Notably, BCM/GA200 can selectively remove tetracyclines in a multivariate system containing other kinds of antibiotics and from a dynamic adsorption system. Most importantly, the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, 2D Fourier transform infrared correlation spectroscopy (2D-FTIR-COS) and density functional theory techniques revealed that (1) for TC adsorption, at pH < 4.0, the contribution of complexation was 25 %-45 %, whereas pore filling and hydrogen bonding accounted for 39 %-72 % of the total uptake. At 4.0 < pH < 10.0, the contribution of complexation increased to 60 %-82 %, whereas electrostatic attraction and π-π interaction were 4 %-13 % and 2 %-10 %, respectively. (2) For OTC adsorption, complexation was dominant at 3.0 < pH < 10.0, accounting for 55 %-86 % of the total uptake, and electrostatic attraction and π-π interactions caused 3 %-10 % and 3 %-15 %, respectively. (3) At pH > 10.0, pore filling dominated TC and OTC adsorption. Finally, the reaction sequences of the main adsorption mechanisms were also probed by 2D-FTIR-COS. This work solves the poor recyclability of MOF powders and provides a mechanistic insight into antibiotic removal by MOFs.

Abstract
The persulfate activation-based advanced oxidation process (PS-AOP) is an important technology in wastewater purification. Using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as heterogeneous catalysts in the PS-AOP showed good application potential. Considering the intrinsic advantages and disadvantages of MOF materials, combining MOFs with other functional materials has also shown excellent PS activation performance and even achieves certain functional expansion. This Review introduces the classification of MOFs and MOF-based composites and the latest progress of their application in PS-AOP systems. The relevant activation/degradation mechanisms are summarized and discussed. Moreover, the importance of catalyst-related interfacial interaction for developing and optimizing advanced oxidation systems is emphasized. Then, the interference behavior of environmental parameters on the interfacial reaction is analyzed. Specifically, the initial solution pH and coexisting inorganic anions may hinder the interfacial reaction process via the consumption of reactive oxygen species, affecting the activation/degradation process. This Review aims to explore and summarize the interfacial mechanism of MOF-based catalysts in the activation of PS. Hopefully, it will inspire researchers to develop new AOP strategies with more application prospects.

Abstract
Constructing an effective multi-heterojunction photocatalyst with maximum charge carrier separation remains challenging. Herein, a high-efficient Co3O4/MIL-88A/Mn-SrTiO3 (Co3O4/MIL/Mn-STO) n-p-n heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully prepared by a simple hydrothermal method for the photodegradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The combination of MIL and Co3O4/Mn-STO established an internal electric field and heterojunction, accelerating the separation of carriers, and thus improved photocatalytic performance. In the Co3O4/MIL/Mn-STO photocatalytic system, 95.5 % of SMX was degraded in 90 min. The photocatalytic kinetic removal rate of Co3O4/MIL/Mn-STO reached 0.0337 min-1, 8 times of Co3O4 (0.0041 min-1), 5.2 times of Mn-STO (0.0062 min-1), 4.6 times of MIL (0.0078 min-1), and 3.6 times of MIL/Mn-STO (0.0095 min-1). Remarkably, superoxide radicals (•O2-) and holes (h+) have been recognized as the main active species in the degradation process through reactive species elimination experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests. The experimental and theoretical proved the in-built interfacial contact and synergistic effect between the photocatalyst accomplished with low bandgaps, high specific surface area, more reaction sites, high electron-hole pair separation, and maximum solar-light utilization. The molecular structure and possible degradation routes with intermediate products in the photocatalytic system were investigated using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (LC-MS) and DFT calculations. This work provided new insight into the guidelines of rational design/growth of new multicomponent photocatalysts to remove antibiotics and other emerging contaminants in wastewater.

Abstract
Metal-organic gels (MOGs) are a type of functional soft substance with a three-dimensional (3D) network structure and solid-like rheological behavior, which are constructed by metal ions and bridging ligands formed under the driving force of coordination interactions or other non-covalent interactions. As the homologous substances of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and gels, they exhibit the potential advantages of high porosity, flexible structure, and adjustable mechanical properties, causing them to attract extensive research interest in the pharmaceutical field. For instance, MOGs are often used as excellent vehicles for intelligent drug delivery and programmable drug release to improve the clinical curative effect with reduced side effects. Also, MOGs are often applied as advanced biomedical materials for the repair and treatment of pathological tissue and sensitive detection of drugs or other molecules. However, despite the vigorous research on MOGs in recent years, there is no systematic summary of their applications in the pharmaceutical field to date. The present review systematically summarize the recent research progress on MOGs in the pharmaceutical field, including drug delivery systems, drug detection, pharmaceutical materials, and disease therapies. In addition, the formation principles and classification of MOGs are complemented and refined, and the techniques for the characterization of the structures/properties of MOGs are overviewed in this review.

Abstract
A composite aerogel with good mechanical properties and adjustable physical properties was synthesized by a sol-gel technique on the base of gelatin for the boron adsorption from water solution. The adsorption key variables, for instance, initial boron concentration (C0) (900-1100 mg/L), the contact time (t) (8-9 h), and pH (9-11), were optimized using central composite design to obtain improved boron adsorption performance of epichlorohydrin-modified gelatin (EMG)/N-methyl-d-glutamine (NMDG) aerogel loaded with hydroxylated carbon nanotubes (EMG@NMDG). The adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich model. At pH of 10, C0 of 1000 mg/L and t of 10 h, the largest adsorbed amount of EMG@NMDG was 85.79 mg/g. Regeneration experiments were carried out by eluting the adsorbent using HCl. The analysis showed that the adsorption in actual brine was 62.65 mg/g. Therefore, the developed EMG@NMDG aerogel has potential value for the boron extraction from brine and wastewater.

Abstract
Using guar gum (GG) as the raw material and borax (B) as the cross-linker, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was in-situ loaded into the 3D network of GG hydrogel, forming a highly efficient catalytic material GG-B-ZIF-8 combined with a subsequent low-temperature calcination process. In GG-B-ZIF-8 activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system, binary norfloxacin (NOR) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) could be removed simultaneously, with the degradation efficiency of >99.9% within 1 h. This system was adaptable to a wide pH range of 3.0-9.0, and was also highly resistant to 5-20 mM Cl- and 10-40 mg/L humic acid. The degradation process was dominated by free radical O2•-, non-radical 1O2 and electron transfer, with eleven degradation products identified for NOR and nine for CIP via eight possible degradation pathways. Finally, the potential eco-toxicity of NOR, CIP and degradation intermediates was evaluated using the ECOSAR method.

Abstract
Graphene aerogels have gained considerable attention due to their unique physical properties, but their poor mechanical properties and lack of functionality have hindered their advanced applications. In this study, we propose a blend-spinning-assisted freeze-casting (BSFC) strategy to incorporate particle-modified carbon fibers into graphene aerogels for mechanical strengthening and functional enhancement. This method offers a great deal of freedom in the creation of customizable multimaterial, multiscale structural graphene aerogels. For example, we fabricated silicon carbide particle modified carbon fiber reinforced graphene (SiC/CF-GA) aerogels. The resulting aerogels display excellent properties such as being ultralightweight and highly resilient and having fatigue compression resistance (1000 cycles at 50% strain). Meanwhile, enhanced resilience inspired the effective strain-sensing capabilities of SiC/CF-GA aerogels with a sensitivity of 13.8 kPa-1. The adjustable dielectric properties due to SiC particle incorporation endow the SiC/CF-GA aerogel with a broad-band (8.0 GHz) effective electromagnetic wave attenuation performance. Besides, different particles could be incorporated into graphene aerogels via the BSFC strategy, allowing for customizable designs. Moreover, multifunctionalities were demonstrated by the modified aerogels, including noise absorption, thermal insulation, fire resistance, and waterproofing, further diversifying their practicality. Hence, the BSFC strategy provides a customized solution for fabricating modified graphene aerogels for advanced functional applications.

Enhanced catalytic oxidation of naproxen via activation of peroxymonosulfate by Fe-based metal-organic framework aerogels functionalized with Ag nanoparticles. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 458:131847. [PMID: 37352778 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/25/2023]
Abstract
In this study, Ag3PO4 and Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-functionalized three-dimensional (3D) porous gelatin aerogels (Ag/Fe@GMA) were fabricated and used as adsorbents and catalysts for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for naproxen (NPX) removal from water. The morphology, crystallinity, surface functional groups, and surface chemical element compositions of the fabricated Ag/Fe@GMA was evaluated using various analytical techniques. Our results showed that as an adsorbent, Ag/Fe@GMA showed a 18.0 % higher NPX adsorption capacity compared with the pristine aerogels. This can be attributed to the well-embedded Ag3PO4 and MOFs, indicating a stronger interaction between functionalized aerogels and NPX. After adsorption, 99.9 % of total NPX removal was achieved within 15 min by activating PMS and effectively generating •OH and •SO4- in water. The PMS/Ag/Fe@GMA aerogel system also showed high removal performance for rhodamine B (99.5 %) and tetracycline (93.7 %). Moreover, the Ag/Fe@GMA aerogels showed excellent reusability to achieve 95.7 % NPX removal efficiency after six times of recycling. This study revealed that the Ag/Fe@GMA aerogels had good potential for PMS activation and NPX removal. In particular, as an alternative to powdery materials, 3D shape of Ag/Fe@GMA with excellent reusability facilitates its application in the treatment of water contaminated with organic contaminants.

Abstract
In this study, a graphene shell-encapsulated copper-based nanoparticles (G@Cu-NPs) was prepared and employed for peracetic acid (PAA) activation. The characterization of G@Cu-NPs confirmed that the as-prepared material was composed of Cu0 and Cu2O inside and encapsulated by a graphene shell. Experimental results suggested that the synthesized G@Cu-NPs could activate PAA to generate free radicals for efficiently removing sulfamethazine (SMT) under neutral condition. The formation of graphene shells could strongly facilitated electron transfer from the core to the surface. Radical quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis confirmed that organic radicals (R-O•) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) were generated in the G@Cu-NPs/PAA system, and R-O• (including CH3CO3• and CH3CO2•) was the main contributor to the elimination of SMT. The possible SMT degradation pathways and mechanisms were proposed, and the toxicity of SMT and its intermediates was predicted with the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. Besides, the effects of some key parameters, common anions, and humic acid (HA) on the removal of SMT in the G@Cu-NPs/PAA system were also investigated. Finally, the applicability of G@Cu-NPs/PAA system was explored, showing that the G@Cu-NPs/PAA system possessed satisfactory adaptability to treat different water bodies with admirable reusability and stability.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 441:129912. [PMID: 36103765 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Herein, ternary metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived MnCoFeO with different levels of oxygen vacancies (Ov) were designed by adjusting the doping amount of Mn and employed to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. The MnCoFeO-2 with the largest Ov content exhibited the highest SMX degradation efficacy. Almost 100% of SMX was removed within 5 min using the MnCoFeO-2/PMS system. The reaction rate constant (kobs) was 1.7321 min-1, which was 4.1 times that of CoFeO (0.4195 min-1). Both the SO4•- and 1O2 were the dominant reactive oxygen species. Significantly, the relationship among Ov, radical pathways, and non-radical pathways was explored for the first time. The results showed that Ov could regulate the radical pathways by promoting the adsorption of PMS onto MnCoFeO-2. Ov was positively correlated with 1O2 (P < 0.05) and facilitated the direct electron transfer. The superior catalytic activity of MnCoFeO was attributed to the Fe, Co, Mn active sites, Lewis basic sites and Ov in MnCoFeO. Mn(II) not only contributed to the formation of Ov, but also facilitated the reduction of Fe(III). Additionally, Ov was mainly concentrated near the low-valent metal ions, thus the synergistic effect between the metal active sites and Ov promoted the activation of PMS.

The hydrophobicity of silica and composite aerogels has enabled them to acquire applications in a variety of fields. With remarkable structural, morphological, and physiochemical properties such as high porosity, surface area, chemical stability, and selectivity, these materials have gained much attention of researchers worldwide. Moreover, the hydrophobic conduct has enabled these aerogels to adsorb substances, i.e., organic pollutants, without collapsing the pore and network structure. Hence, considering such phenomenal properties and great adsorption potential, exploiting these materials for environmental and biomedical applications is trending. The present study explores the most recent advances in synthetic approaches and resulting properties of hydrophobic silica and composite aerogels. It presents the various precursors and co-precursors used for hydrophobization and gives a comparative analysis of drying methods. Moreover, as a major focus, the work presents the recent progress where these materials have shown promising results for various environmental remediation and biomedical applications. Finally, the bottlenecks in synthesis and applicability along with future prospects are given in conclusions.

Abstract
Fluoride in the hydrosphere exceeds the standard, which could be critically hazardous to human health and the natural environment. The adsorption method is a mature and effective way to remove pollutants in water, including fluoride. In this study, we synthesized three kinds of cerium-based metal-organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs) with different structures and properties by modulating the organic ligands (i.e., trimesic acid (BTC), 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (PMA), and terephthalic acid (BDC)) via the solvothermal method. The adsorption kinetics of Ce-MOFs on fluoride well fit the pseudo second order model, and their adsorption isotherms also conform to Langmuir isothermal model. The thermodynamic study reveals that the adsorption process is a spontaneous endothermic reaction. The maximum saturated adsorption capacities of Ce-BTC, Ce-PMA, and Ce-BDC are 70.7, 159.6, and 139.5 mg g-1, respectively. Ce-MOFs have stable and excellent adsorption capacity at pH = 3-9. Coexisting anions (Cl-, SO42-, and NO3-) do not affect the performance of Ce-MOFs for fluoride removal. Moreover, Ce-MOFs also show their broad prospect as superior fluoride adsorbents because of their excellent performance and reusability in real water samples. Organic ligands have a remarkable influence on the defluoridation performance of Ce-MOFs. This work will provide a feasible idea for designing MOFs as superiors adsorbents for defluoridation.

Abstract
Treatment of recalcitrant and xenobiotic pharmaceutical compounds in polluted waters have gained significant attention of the environmental scientists. Antibiotics are diffused into the environment widely owing to their high usages, very particularly in the last two years due to over consumption during covid 19 pandemic worldwide. Quinolones are very effective antibiotics, but do not get completely metabolized due to which they pose severe health hazards if discharged without proper treatment. The commonly reported treatment methods for quinolones are adsorption and advanced oxidation methods. In both the treatment methods, metal organic frameworks (MOF) have been proved to be promising materials used as stand-alone or combined technique. Many composite MOF materials synthesized from renewable, natural, and harmless materials by eco-friendly techniques have been reported to be effective in the treatment of quinolones. In the present article, special focus is given on the abatement of norfloxacin and ofloxacin contaminated wastewater using MOFs by adsorption, oxidation/ozonation, photocatalytic degradation, electro-fenton methods, etc. However, integration of adsorption with any advanced oxidation methods was found to be best remediation technique. Of various MOFs reported by several researchers, the MIL-101(Cr)-SO3H composite was able to give 99% removal of norfloxacin by adsorption. The MIL - 88A(Fe) composite and Fe LDH carbon felt cathode were reported to yield 100% degradation of ofloxacin by photo-Fenton and electro-fenton methods respectively. The synthesis methods and mechanism of action of MOFs towards the treatment of norfloxacin and ofloxacin as reported by several investigation reports are also presented.

Abstract
The inevitably high energy consumption of traditional electrochemical processes to treat low-conductivity water has limited their wider application. Herein, we present an energy-efficient alternative, i.e., a Ti4O7 reactive electrochemical ceramic membrane (Ti4O7-REM) system with a superior mass transfer ability. For the removal of 10-200 μM norfloxacin (NOR) from low-conductivity (178-832 μS cm-1) water, the Ti4O7-REM system increased the kinetics rate constant by 4.3-34.0 times, thus decreasing the energy cost by 80.5-97.3% compared with a flow-by system. The rapid NOR removal was related to the enhanced direct electron transfer process in the Ti4O7-REM system, which allowed for higher resistance to HCO3- scavenging and a favorable reaction between NOR and the active sites. Meanwhile, this mechanism likely contributed to the less formation of inorganic chlorinated product, ClO3-, in the presence of Cl-. Although organic chlorinated byproducts were not detected during NOR degradation in the Ti4O7-REM system, Cl- influenced the speciation of the intermediates. A single-pass Ti4O7-REM system demonstrated 94-97% removal of trace antibiotics from real water samples in 30 s. The additional energy consumption (<0.02 kWh m-3) using a Ti4O7-REM system only contributed to 5.0-6.4% of the total in a typical tertiary wastewater treatment plant. Based on the above results, we can conclude that the convection-enhanced REM technique is viable for the purification of low-conductivity natural waters.

Abstract
Large amount of gelatin can be extracted from the solid waste in leather industry. The advanced application of such gelatin is always desired by the leather industry, but remains challenging. Considering the urgent requirement of biodegradable plastic film, in this study, the gelatin extracted from waste skin scrap in the leather industry was used to fabricate a waste gelatin-based film with a high gelatin content, excellent mechanical performance, and autonomous biodegradability in natural soil. The film was prepared by introducing covalent bonds and metal-ligand bonds to the gelatin matrix. These covalent bonds, metal-ligand bonds, and inherent hydrogen bonds in the gelatin matrix serve as multiple sacrificial bonds for effective energy dissipation giving the waste gelatin-based film excellent mechanical parameters with the highest fracture stress of ≈ 32 MPa, maximum fracture strain of ≈1.25 mm/mm, and a high Young's modulus of ≈ 471 MPa, which are significantly higher than those of the original gelatin film (fracture stress ≈ 4 MPa, fracture strain ≈ 0.70 mm/mm, and Young's modulus ≈ 22 MPa). Owing to the water resistance of covalent bonds and metal-ligand bonds existed in gelatin matrix, the gelatin film possesses good water resistance. Additionally, after use, the fabricated film can completely biodegrade in natural soil in approximately 7 weeks. This strategy not only provides a valuable recycling solution for the gelatin from the unwelcome solid waste of the leather industry, but it also broadens the range of ecofriendly and cost effective biodegradable films available.
