In this work, novel adsorbent polyaniline-modified halloysite nanotubes (HNT@PA-2) were synthesized successfully by polymerization to increase active adsorption sites. With the increase of the amount of aniline, the adsorption capacity of naproxen becomes higher. The optimal ratio of halloysite nanotubes to aniline was 1 : 2. The effects of adsorption conditions such as pH, mass of HNT@PA-2, time and initial concentration of naproxen were systematically researched. The optimum adsorption for naproxen was pH 9, mass 10 mg and contact time 4 h. The adsorption of naproxen conformed to the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 242.58 mg g at 318 K. In addition, the effects of ionic strength and different heavy metals also were studied. Higher ionic strength of the system could influence the adsorption of naproxen. The effects of Al, Pb, Zn and Co ions on the adsorption of naproxen could be ignored, while Cu and Fe ions inhibited the process. The mechanisms for naproxen adsorbed by the HNT@PA-2 were π-π interaction, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic reaction. Therefore, the HNT@PA-2 could be used for the treatment of medical wastewater for removing naproxen.

Vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands (VSSF CWs) were employed to investigate the use of biochar that could be produced with local agricultural biomass through pyrolysis, recycled glass from local recycling companies and gel beads with decreased packing volume and shipping cost as substrate alternatives to sand. The materials were assessed in terms of granulometry, porosity, adsorption capacity and hydraulic conductivity and were used for the treatment of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, treating domestic wastewater, effluent. Granulometry was a major factor impacting TSS removal that ranged from 81% ± 10% to 97% ± 2%.

Article Synopsis
- Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are effective drug carriers due to their unique properties, but their walls need to be coated with peptides to ensure safety and reduce toxicity in the human body.
- Recent research focuses on loading the drugs ketoprofen and naproxen, attached to a specific RGD peptide, onto CNT and analyzing their interactions with biological membranes through molecular dynamics simulations.
- The findings indicate that these drug-CNT complexes engage in significant interactions with membranes, leading to spontaneous diffusion and higher stability confirmed by van der Waals energy, facilitating drug penetration when the peptide sequence is present.

Pharmaceutical contaminants pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health, necessitating effective removal strategies. This research focuses on developing advanced adsorbents for removing pharmaceutical pollutants from the environment. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), specifically MIL-101(Cr) functionalized with biodegradable beta-cyclodextrin (β-CDex), were investigated as potential nanocomposite adsorbents for the removal of ketorolac (KTRK), naproxen (NPXN), and tramadol (TRML).

This current investigation explored the thermal conversion process of castor wood into biochar, which was subsequently harnessed for removing naproxen from pharmaceutical industrial effluent via adsorption. Surface composition analyses conducted through scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared studies unveiled the presence of nano MgO particles within the adsorbent material. Employing optimization techniques such as response surface methodology facilitated a refined approach to batch study.

This study was developed to evaluate the removal potential of ibuprofen, naproxen and 17-β-estradiol in artificial wetlands constructed on a laboratory scale, using eight experimental devices planted with species, tested with gravel substrate and without gravel substrate, which were fortified with synthetic mixtures at concentrations of 1, 2 and 5 mg/L of the three compounds, during a batch exposure time of nine days. The removal efficiency for 17-β-estradiol was 94.5 ± 2.
