A review on the adsorption mechanism of different organic contaminants by covalent organic framework (COF) from the aquatic environment.

Recently, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained significant attention as a promising material for the elimination of various organic pollutants due to their distinctive characteristics such as high surface area, adjustable porosity, high removal efficiency, and recyclability. The efficiency and selectivity of COFs depend on the decorated functional group and the pore size of the chemical structure. Hence, this review highlights the adsorption removal mechanism of different organic contaminants such as (pharmaceutical and personal care products, pesticides, dyes, and industrial by-products) by COFs from an aqueous solution.

Lanthanum hydroxide engineered sewage sludge biochar for efficient phosphate elimination: Mechanism interpretation using physical modelling.

In the present study, lanthanum hydroxide (La OH)-engineered sewage sludge biochar (La-SSBC) was utilized for efficient phosphate elimination from an aqueous medium. A high adsorption capacity of 312.55 mg P/g was achieved using La-SSBC at 20 °C, which was an excellent adsorbent performance in comparison to other biochar-based adsorbents.

High-performance removal of radionuclides by porous organic frameworks from the aquatic environment: A review.

Dealing with unwanted nuclear waste is still a serious issue from the point of view of humans and the environment because of its harmful and dangerous effects. Recently, porous organic frameworks (POFs) have gained an increasing concern as effective materials in the removal of various types of hazardous metal ions, especially radioactive metal ions. POFs are a unique class that included covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with strong covalent bonds, large surface area, high adsorption capacity, tunable porosity, and a porous structure with more efficient than conventional adsorbents.
