In this study, we intricately designed and synthesized two isoreticular two-dimensional covalent organic framework nanosheets, namely TAPA-COF-1 and TAPA-COF-2, distinguished by their unique spatial arrangement of hydroxyl groups. These precisely engineered nanosheets were employed as a tailored platform for the selective capture of uranium, due to their tunable chelating sites and characteristic sheet-like morphology. Notably, TAPA-COF-1, featuring -hydroxyl groups, demonstrated a significantly enhanced adsorption capacity for uranium capture originating from the additional oriented adjacent phenolic hydroxyl chelating sites in comparison to TAPA-COF-2 with -hydroxyl groups, which was proved by theoretical calculation. The impressive features of TAPA-COF-1, including its notable selectivity, rapid adsorption kinetics, and high uptake capacity (657.2 mg g), endow it as a highly promising candidate for uranium capture.

Herein, organic/inorganic multiple adsorption sites were constructed on halloysite to intensify the selective adsorption performance of the adsorbent for Al(III) in rare earth solutions. The adsorption heat behavior and thermodynamics of the composite for different ion systems were investigated using microcalorimetry. The results showed that chitosan formed a mesoporous membrane on the acid-treated calcined halloysite (HalH) substrate through a strong electron interaction between the nitrogen atom of the amino group and the oxygen atom of SiO structure on HalH.

Introduction: Targeted infection imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis in postpartum women. This project uses 99mTc-labeled cefixime to develop a radiopharmaceutical for detecting, distinguishing, and treating infections and abscesses in women.
Method: Technetium (TcO4-) chelated with cefixime, reduced by stannous chloride, confirmed via thin-layer chromatography.

Northern Shaanxi's oil-gas drilling produces large amounts of waste drilling fluids with high-value solids (barite, bentonite). Traditional disposal causes resource waste and pollution. This study proposes a stepwise flotation process for typical local oil-based waste: surface cleaning to break oil film wrapping and combined reagents to regulate mineral surface hydrophobicity differences, enabling efficient separation and recovery of barite and bentonite.

The ordered growth of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in confined environments remains a critical challenge in photocatalysis. Herein, CsBiBr (CBB) QDs were covalently anchored as single-rod nanocrystals (SRNCs) within Hf-based metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets (Hf-bpy, Hbpy = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid), forming a series of host-guest photocatalysts CBB@Hf-bpy. By modulation of the thickness of MOF nanosheets, the length of CBB SRNCs was effectively shortened to 18 nm, exhibiting strong quantum confinement effects.

Magnesium chelating is considered a promising method to increase Mg uptake, thus fight against the prevalent case of Mg deficiency. In this study, hydrolysates and peptide fractions from spent brewer's yeast (SBY) and soybean meal (SBM) were evaluated for the magnesium chelating ability. Despite the similar amino acid profile and protein concentration, SBY hydrolysate showed superior chelating yield than that of SBM.
