As a new type of porous material, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely studied in gas adsorption and separation, especially in C hydrocarbons. Considering the stronger interaction between the unsaturated molecules and the metal sites, and the smaller molecular size of unsaturated molecules, the usual relationship of affinities and adsorption capacities among C hydrocarbons in most common MOFs is CH > CH > CH. Herein, a unique microporous metal-organic framework, (activated ), with a completely reversed adsorption relationship for C hydrocarbons (CH > CH > CH) has been successfully synthesized, which breaks the traditional concept of the adsorption relationship of MOFs for C hydrocarbons. Based on this unique adsorption relationship, a green and simple one-step separation purification for a large amount of CH can be expected to be achieved through the selective adsorption of CH. In addition, also shows good selectivities in CH/CO and CO/CH.

In this study, a novel nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dot/oxidized gum arabic-gelatin-based fluorescent probe (NAH) was prepared using gelatin (GL) and gum arabic (AG) biomolecules. The primary network structure of this hydrogel consisted of polyacrylamide (PAM), while a secondary network structure was constructed between oxidized gum arabic and gelatin through the reaction of the Schiff base, which significantly enhanced the mechanical properties, the stress and strain of NAH reached 266.47 KPa and 2175.

Bismuth-based photocatalysts proved to have remarkable photoactivity for antibiotic degradation from water. However, the two significant challenges of bismuth-based photocatalysts are the fast charge recombination rate and higher energy band gap. This study successfully synthesized a novel I-Bi/BiWO/MWCNTs (C-WBI) heterostructure composite photocatalysts with shorter energy band-gap and higher charge production capability through interfacial amidation linkage.

A low-cost and renewable magnetite-pine bark (MPB) sorbent was evaluated in continuous-flow systems for the removal of various pharmaceuticals from municipal wastewater effluent following membrane bioreactor (MBR) treatment. A 33-day small-scale column test (bed volume: 791 cm) was conducted using duplicate columns of biochar (BC, Novocarbo) and activated carbon (AC, ColorSorb) as reference for two columns of BC and MPB in order to compare the efficiency of AC and MPB. After the small-scale column test, the pharmaceutical concentrations were generally below the detection limit.
