Abstract
The increasing need to tackle major societal challenges such as environmental sustainability and resource scarcity has heightened global interest in green and efficient separation technologies. The separation of organic acids, particularly tartaric acid, holds significant industrial importance in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. Purifying tartaric acid is crucial due to its roles as a chiral catalyst, antioxidant, and stabilizer, which are vital for ensuring product quality and efficiency. In this study, we synthesized heterogeneous anion exchange membranes by casting a solution of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) homogeneously dispersed with micronized anion exchange resin [polystyrene-divinylbenzene-trimethyl ammonium chloride (PS-DVB-TAC)]. These membranes were further coated with polyaniline (PANI) through in situ polymerization at different time intervals such as 2, 12, and 24 h. Cation exchange membranes were also prepared by solution casting of PAN dispersed with micronized cation exchange resin, sulfonated poly-styrene-co-divinylbenzene, and SPS-DVB. These synthesized anion exchange membranes with and without a PANI coating were examined for their separation performance of tartaric acid, along with the cation exchange membranes in a four-compartment electrodialyser at a constant voltage. The newly fabricated membranes were characterized by different techniques, including attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for functional group analysis, scanning electron microscopy for their surface morphology, and the four-probe method for electrical conductivity. In addition, ion exchange capacity and water uptake have been measured. The electrodialysis experiments showed that 14.82 wt% of tartrate ions moved into the product compartment through the uncoated anion exchange membrane within 30 min at a voltage of 30 V. Under the same conditions, membranes coated with PANI at 2, 12, and 24 h raised the separation efficiency to 21.19%, 34.13%, and 37.21%, respectively. Findings indicate that membranes coated with PANI for extended periods demonstrate superior separation efficiency for tartaric acid. Consequently, this energy-efficient method shows significant potential for application in the food and pharmaceutical industries for separating tartaric acid and other organic and amino acids. This research can advance practical and sustainable separation technologies, addressing critical societal issues like resource efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Efficacious phosphate removal is essential for mitigating eutrophication in aquatic ecosystems and complying with increasingly stringent phosphate emission regulations. Chemical adsorption, characterized by simplicity, prominent treatment efficiency, and convenient recovery, is extensively employed for profound phosphorus removal. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived metal/carbon composites, surpassing the limitations of separate components, exhibit synergistic effects, rendering them tremendously promising for environmental remediation. This comprehensive review systematically summarizes MOFs-based materials' properties and their structure-property relationships tailored for phosphate adsorption, thereby enhancing specificity towards phosphate. Furthermore, it elucidates the primary mechanisms influencing phosphate adsorption by MOFs-based composites. Additionally, the review introduces strategies for designing and synthesizing efficacious phosphorus capture and regeneration materials. Lastly, it discusses and illuminates future research challenges and prospects in this field. This summary provides novel insights for future research on superlative MOFs-based adsorbents for phosphate removal.

Abstract
Speciation of hexachloride tetravalent uranium, neptunium, and plutonium species in aqueous media has been investigated using density functional theory in the presence of inner sphere ligands such as chloride, nitrate, and solvent molecules. All possible structures with the formula [AnIV(Cl)x(H2O)y(NO3)z]4-x-z (An = U, Np, and Pu; x = 0-6, y = 0-8, and z = 0-6) were considered to explore the speciation chemical space of each actinide. The nature of the mixed-ligand complexes present in solution is controlled by the concentration of free ligands in solution. A low chloride concentration is suitable to drive the speciation away from the highly thermodynamically stable hexachloride species. Furthermore, the formation of dimeric species can proceed through both olation and oxolation mechanisms. Oxolation is preferred for monomers that contain fewer water ligands, while olation becomes favorable for complexes with more water ligands.

Abstract
Flexible cross-linked anion exchange membranes (AEMs) based on poly (p-phenylene oxide) grafted with N-spirocyclic quaternary ammonium cations were synthesized via UV-induced free-radical polymerization by using diallylpiperidinium chloride as an ionic monomer. Five membranes with ion exchange capacity (IEC) varying between 1.5 to 2.8 mmol Cl-·g-1 polymer were obtained and the correlation between IEC, water uptake, state of water in the membrane and ionic conductivity was studied. In the second part of this study, the influence of properties of four of these membranes on cell cycling stability and performance was investigated in an aqueous organic redox flow battery (AORFB) employing dimethyl viologen (MV) and N,N,N-2,2,6,6-heptamethylpiperidinyl oxy-4-ammonium chloride (TMA-TEMPO). The influence of membrane properties on cell cycling stability and performance was studied. At low-current density (20 mA·cm-2), the best capacity retention was obtained with lower IEC membranes for which the water uptake, freezable water and TMA-TEMPO and MV crossover are low. However, at a high current density (80 mA·cm-2), membrane resistance plays an important role and a membrane with moderate IEC, more precisely, moderate ion conductivity and water uptake was found to maintain the best overall cell performance. The results in this work contribute to the basic understanding of the relationship between membrane properties and cell performance, providing insights guiding the development of advanced membranes to improve the efficiency and power capability for AORFB systems.

Abstract
Eutrophication of water bodies is a serious and widespread environmental problem. Achieving low levels of phosphate concentration to prevent eutrophication is one of the important goals of the wastewater engineering and surface water management. Meeting the increasingly stringent standards is feasible in using a phosphate-selective sorption system. This critical review discusses the most fundamental aspects of selective phosphate removal processes and highlights gains from the latest developments of phosphate-selective sorbents. Selective sorption of phosphate over other competing anions can be achieved based on their differences in acid-base properties, geometric shapes, and metal complexing abilities. Correspondingly, interaction mechanisms between the phosphate and sorbent are categorized as hydrogen bonding, shape complementarity, and inner-sphere complexation, and their representative sorbents are organic-functionalized materials, molecularly imprinted polymers, and metal-based materials, respectively. Dominating factors affecting the phosphate sorption performance of these sorbents are critically examined, along with a discussion of some overlooked facts regarding the development of high-performance sorbents for selective phosphate removal from water and wastewater.
