A key aspect for the applicability of Zr-radioimmunoconjugates is inert modification and radiolabeling. The two commercially available bifunctional variants of the siderophore desferrioxamine (DFO), Fe-DFO-N-suc-TFP-ester and p-NCS-Bz-DFO, are most often used for clinical Zr-immuno-PET. The use of Fe-DFO-N-suc-TFP-ester is advantageous with regard to higher radiolysis stability and more facile assessment of radiochemical purity as well as chelator-to-mAb ratio. However, not all mAbs withstand the Fe-removal step at relatively low pH (4-4.5) using EDTA, which is needed after conjugation to allow Zr labeling. In this study, it was investigated whether hydroxybenzyl ethylenediamine (HBED) or the clinically approved deferiprone (DFP) can serve as an alternative for EDTA to establish a pH-independent mild method for Fe-removal and thereby broaden the applicability of Fe-DFO-N-suc-TFP-ester. Carrier-added [Fe]Fe-DFO-N-suc-TFP-ester was used for mAb modification to enable direct tracking of the Fe-removal efficiency under various conditions. Whereas incomplete Fe-removal with HBED was observed at pH 5 or higher, Fe-removal with DFP was possible at a broad pH range (4-9). This provides a mild, pH-independent method for Fe-removal, improving the applicability and attractiveness of Fe-DFO-N-suc-TFP-ester for Zr-mAb preparation.

Activated carbon (AC) systems and reverse osmosis (RO) systems are commonly used point-of-use (POU) water filtration systems for removing trace-level contaminants in tap water to protect human health. However, limited research has been done to evaluate their effectiveness in removing heavy metals like manganese (Mn) and uranium (U), or to assess the potential for undesired microbial growth within POU systems, which can reduce their treatment efficiency. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the removal of metals and assimilable organic carbon (AOC) in POU systems.

Iron (Fe) contamination in groundwater is a widespread issue, necessitating the implementation of efficient removal methods to ensure the provision of safe drinking water. To contribute to the development of effective and sustainable solutions for addressing Fe contamination problems, this study investigated the potential of natural brown coal (BC) as a cost-effective adsorbent for removing dissolved Fe from groundwater. The study also explored the regeneration and reusability potential, as well as the effects of operational parameters, including pH, temperature, adsorbate concentration, and competitive ions, on the adsorption process.
