The presence of persistent organic compounds in water has become a worldwide issue due to its resistance to natural degradation, inducing its environmental resilience. Therefore, the accumulation in water bodies, soils, and humans produces toxic effects. Also, low levels of organic pollutants can lead to serious human health issues, such as cancer, chronic diseases, thyroid complications, immune system suppression, etc.

The PXRD analysis confirmed ferrites with the presence of residual NaCl. The surface area of FeO (Fe-F) and CoFeO (Co-F) material was 69.

- The study investigated how well UO, Th, and Eu are absorbed by a new type of hybrid metal-organic framework (MOF) composite called FeBDC@CoBDC.
- The analysis confirmed the composite's structure and showed that the absorption of these elements followed specific models, indicating good capacity and kinetics for the process.
- Results indicated the absorption process was favorable, required multiple interactions for effective elution, and the MOF's stability was moderate under radiation exposure.
