Synthesis of novel zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) – zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposite (ZnO@ZIF-67) and potential adsorption of pharmaceutical (tetracycline (TCC)) from water

Extraction and separation feasibility of cerium (III) and lanthanum (III) from aqueous solution using modified graphite adsorbent

“…Many techniques were used for the separation and extraction of lanthanide elements such as adsorption, liquid–liquid extraction, membrane, ion exchange, and solid–liquid extraction (Gupta and Krishnamurthy 1992 ; Li and Sun 2005 ; Hassan and Elmaghraby 2019 ). One of the most efficient separating techniques is the adsorption process (Ahmadi et al 2022 ; Naeini et al 2022 ; Moradi and Sharma 2021 ; Babudurai et al 2021 ). This method has a number of advantages, including fewer wastes and a faster solid–liquid separation.…”

Recent advances in the application of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) in environmental remediation: a review

“…148,149 Tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC) as two kinds of antibiotics are both widely used as veterinary drugs in animal husbandry. [150][151][152] The removal of antibiotics on ZIFs mainly included adsorption [153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167][168] and photo-degradation. 39,[169][170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178] Li et al investigated that approximately 95 and 90% of TC and OTC were removed by ZIF-8 under low wastewater conditions, indicating the potential of ZIF-8 as an effective adsorbent for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater.…”

Synthesis, characterization, and application of a zinc oxide–pyrrole–thiophene nanocomposite as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of tetracycline

“…[22][23][24][25][26] However, due to the absence of a large number of functional groups, the adsorption capacity of metal oxides is relatively low. To improve the adsorption capacity of such materials, these are synergistically associated with different crosslinkers, such as polymers, 27,28 zeolites, 29,30 molecular organic frameworks (MOFs), 31 covalent organic frameworks (COFs), clays, 32 and activated carbon. 33,34 Conducting polymer-based nanocomposites have attracted significant interest in recent years for their utilization in wastewater treatment.…”
