Removal of tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA) from wastewater is of significance to protect the aquatic life. The present study reports the facile preparation of polyoxometalate-modified metal-organic framework (MOFs) materials for TBBPA removal from water. The polyoxometalate-modified MOFs exhibited significantly higher affinity towards TBBPA than the control MOFs. The experimental data were fitted with the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The TBBPA adsorption onto modified MOFs fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium adsorption isotherms showed that the adsorption of TBBPA can be fitted by the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity of adsorbent composites reached 3.65 mg/g, with 95 % removal of TBBPA. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that adsorption was spontaneous. A blue shift of phosphorus peaks obtained from XPS spectra implied the formation of intrinsic chemical bonding between TBBPA and MOFs composites. Moreover, response surface methodology was employed to characterize the TBBPA adsorption in the co-existence of different factors. BPA had strong competition for TBBPA adsorption in a wide range of pH, but not at the middle level of Ca concentration. Polyoxometalate-modified MOFs can easily be recycled using a simple organic solvent washing. This study provides a novel strategy for developing cost effective adsorbents to remove TBBPA from contaminated water.

Extensive applications of bisphenols in industrial products have led to their release into aquatic environments, causing a great threat to human health due to their endocrine-disrupting effects, whereas existing methods are difficult to implement the rapid and high-throughput detection of multiple bisphenols. To circumvent this issue, we constructed a sensor array using two luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) (Zr-BUT-12 and Ga-MIL-61) for the rapid discrimination of six bisphenol contaminants (BPA, BPS, BPB, BPF, BPAF, and TBBPA). Wherein, Zr-BUT-12 and Ga-MIL-61 exhibited different fluorescence-emission properties and good luminescent stability.

TetrabromobisphenolA is a well-known member of the brominated flame retardant group and is widely used as a highly effective fire-retardant additive in electronic and electrical equipment. TBBPA is commonly found in various environmental sources and can be harmful to human health. This study presents a simple approach to preparing a magnetic nanocomposite, offering a straightforward method that results in consistent quality and low resource consumption.

As widely used alternative brominated flame retardants, tetrabromobisphenol S (TBBPS) and its derivatives have attracted increasing amounts of attention in the field of environmental science. Previous studies have shown that TBBPS and its derivatives easily accumulate in environmental media and may cause risks to environmental safety and human health. Therefore, to explore the environmental behaviours of TBBPS and its derivatives, in this paper, we summarized relevant research on the distribution of these compounds in water, the atmosphere, soil and food/biota, as well as their transformation mechanisms (biological and nonbiological) and toxic effects.

In recent years, a growing concern has emerged regarding the environmental implications of flame retardants (FRs) like tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA) and graphene family nanomaterials (GFNs), such as graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), on marine biota. Despite these substances' well-established individual toxicity profiles, there is a notable gap in understanding the physicochemical interactions within the binary mixtures and consequent changes in the toxicity potential. Therefore, our research focuses on elucidating the individual and combined toxicological impacts of TBBPA and GFNs on the marine alga Chlorella sp.

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is an advanced environmental functional material for the degradation of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). However, high surface energy, self-agglomeration and low electron selectivity limit degradation rate and complete debromination of bare nZVI. Herein, we presented biomass-derived cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) modified nZVI (CNC/nZVI) for enhanced TBBPA removal.
