FeO-based materials are widely used for magnetic separation from wastewater. However, they often suffer from Fe-leaching behavior under acidic conditions, decreasing their activity and limiting sustainable practical applications. In this study, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were used as the shell to protect the FeO core, and the FeO@COF core-shell composites were synthesized for As(III) removal from acid wastewater. The imine-linked COFs can in situ grow on the surface of the FeO core layer by layer with [COFs/FeO] ratio of up to 2:1. The Fe-leaching behavior was weakened over a wide pH range of 1-13. Moreover, such composites keep their magnetic characteristic, making them favorable for nanomaterial separation. As(III) batch adsorption experiments results indicated that, when COFs are used as the shell for the FeO core, a balance between As(III) removal efficiencies and the thickness of the COF shell exists. Higher As(III) removal efficiencies are obtained when the [COFs/FeO] ratios were < 1.5:1, but thicker COF shells were not beneficial for As(III) removal. Such composites also exhibited better As(III) removal performances in the pH range of 1-7. Over a wide pH range, the zeta potential of FeO@COF core-shell composites becomes more positive, which benefits the capture of negative arsenic ions. In addition, thinner surface COFs were favorable for mass transfer and facilitating the reaction of Fe and As elements. Our study highlights the promise of using COFs in nanomaterial surface protection and achieving As(III) depth removal under acidic conditions.

Background: The Italian Fund for Alzheimer's and other dementias approved in 2020 enabled the conducting of a survey in the Italian Centers for Cognitive Disorders and Dementias (CCDDs) to analyse the organization, the administrative features and the professionals' characteristics.

Aims: To investigate the current use of neuropsychological (NP) tests in Italian CCDDs and the association between the use of a basic set of tests for neuropsychological assessment (NPA) and organizational/structural characteristics of CCDDs.

Methods: A survey was conducted with an online questionnaire in all CCDDs between July 2022 and February 2023.

The core-mantle differentiation process plays a pivotal role in redistributing material on a massive scale, shaping the long-term evolution of rocky planets. Understanding this process is crucial for gaining insights into the accretion and evolution of planets like Mars. However, the details of Mars's core-mantle differentiation remain poorly understood due to limited compositional data for its core and mantle.

Article Synopsis
  • - A study was conducted on landrace accessions of common beans from the Lazio region in Italy to identify which genotypes are more drought-tolerant or susceptible, using a controlled pre-screening experiment on 24 diverse landraces.
  • - The selected landraces were then tested in field trials under two different water conditions (normal irrigation vs. no irrigation) at two sites with distinct climatic conditions, revealing consistent results across both locations.
  • - It was found that yield parameters were more affected by water shortage than morpho-physiological traits, indicating variability among genotypes; some landraces demonstrated significant yield stability under drought, highlighting their potential for drought tolerance.

Two mononuclear iron(II) complexes, [(6-amide-BPMEN)Fe](OTf) () and [(6-amide-Me-BPMEN)Fe(OTf)](OTf) (), supported by two BPMEN-derived (BPMEN = ,-dimethyl-,-bis(pyridine-2-yl-methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine) ligands bearing one or two amide functionalities have been isolated to study their reactivity in the oxygenation of C-H and C═C bonds using isopropyl 2-iodoxybenzoate (Pr-IBX ester) as the oxidant. Both and contain six-coordinate high-spin iron(II) centers in the solid state and in solution. The 6-amide-BPMEN ligand stabilizes an = 1 iron(IV)-oxo intermediate, [(6-amide-BPMEN)Fe(O)] ().
