The extensive use of organic molecules (Rhodamine B and Amitriptyline) also has contributed to environmental pollution; adsorption is a relevant method for removal of these contaminants in aqueous media. In this context, the objective of this study was to modify the surface of cellulose (Cel) with phosphoric acid and sodium tripolyphosphate to obtain a biopolymer with incorporated phosphate groups (PCel). The modification was confirmed by X-ray dispersive energy spectroscopy, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, and thermal analysis. The obtained material (PCel) was used as a Rhodamine B (RhB) or Amitriptyline (AmTP) adsorbent, and the highest adsorption capacity of this material was obtained at pH 3.0 (RhB) and 7.0 (AmTP) and the equilibrium time was achieved at 65 (RhB) and 150 min (AmTP). Moreover, the pseudo-first-order model best describes the kinetics of this adsorption. The experimental adsorption isotherms were adjusted to the Langmuir model, indicating that monolayer adsorption occurred and the highest experimental adsorption capacity obtained was 47.58 (RhB) and 45.52 mg g (AmTP) in PCel. The thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption process is exothermic and non-spontaneous, with increase of non-spontaneity with enhance of the temperature. However, PCel was efficient in removing the contaminant (RhB or AmTP) in an aqueous solution.

Synthetic dyes, such as Congo red (CR), pose serious threats to human health and aquatic ecosystems because of their carcinogenicity and resistance to degradation, necessitating the development of efficient and eco-friendly remediation strategies. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via a green method using Ocimum sanctum (holy basil) leaf extract and applied for CR dye removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BBD), evaluating the influence of key parameters including pH, AgNP dosage, initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature.

A key challenge in capturing CO from postcombustion gases is humidity due to competitive adsorption between CO and HO. Multivariate (MTV) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been considered a promising option to address this problem, e.g.

Lutetium (Lu(III)), a heavy rare earth element, plays a critical role in advanced industrial processes and nuclear medicine applications. Given its high economic value and potential environmental risks, the recovery of Lu(III) from medical wastewater is both necessary and urgent. However, previous studies on the adsorption behavior of Lu(III) have been limited by low adsorption capacity, competition from coexisting metal ions, and the influence of environmental temperature.

The residues of antiviral drugs acyclovir (ACV), penciclovir (PCV) and ganciclovir (GCV) in foods, particularly in ready-to-eat products, pose a significant threat to human health, making it urgent to develop a rapid and sensitive method for their detection. Herein, we designed a novel magnetic molecularly imprinted three-dimensional covalent organic framework (MICOF@FeO) for selective extraction of these antiviral drugs from complicated food matrix. The prepared MICOF@FeO integrates molecular recognition ability, 3D COF structural advantages and magnetic responsiveness, providing high selectivity, large adsorption capacity and facile operation for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE).
