Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the detrimental effects of amphetamine-type stimulants (ATSs) on public safety and the environment, emphasizing the need for effective remediation methods.
- A novel biochar, modified from pomelo peel, demonstrated exceptional adsorption capabilities for MDMA and other ATSs, significantly outperforming its reaction to other types of stimulants based on the strength of hydrogen bonds.
- The research revealed active chemical sites on the modified biochar that facilitate strong interactions with ATSs, and these findings contribute to the development of materials for efficiently capturing these harmful substances from water.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the importance of accurately detecting and monitoring MDMA due to its high toxicity and potential ecological harm.
- Researchers synthesized three types of functionalized magnetic biochar to effectively adsorb MDMA, with MBC@poly(AAm-ChCl) showing the highest adsorption capacity.
- The findings indicate that MBC@poly(AAm-ChCl) operates through strong hydrogen bonding interactions and demonstrates excellent selectivity and performance across a range of pH levels, suggesting its usefulness in drug detection processes.*
Mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone, MEPH) exhibited severe ecologic hazards and health detriments. A novel deep eutectic solvent functionalized magnetic ZIF-8/hierarchical porous carbon (DMZH) with excellent selectivity, interference resistance and recyclability, was developed for the rapid adsorption of MEPH. Initially, potential adsorption sites of MEPH were predicted.

In this study, a novel strategy for screening deep eutectic solvent (DES) functional monomers was proposed based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Using magnetic GO/ZIF-67 (ZMG) as substrates, three DES-functionalized adsorbents (ZMG-BA, ZMG-FA, and ZMG-PA) were successfully synthesized.
