Qing-Hua Hu et al.

Summary: Researchers have successfully constructed two isostructural MOFs, NCU-3-X (X = Cl, Br), for efficient adsorption of ReO4-/TcO4- in nuclear waste. NCU-3-Br exhibited superior adsorption performances due to the smaller electronegativity of bromine atoms and the presence of one-dimensional hydrophobic channels in its framework. The adsorption capacity of NCU-3-Br to ReO4-/TcO4- was confirmed through experiments.

Luyi Chen et al.

Summary: Systematic investigation on the adsorption performance of polystyrene-based nanospheres towards persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is crucial for high-capacity adsorbent design and toxicological risk assessment. In this study, a series of polystyrene-based nanospheres with controllable microstructures were successfully constructed as model adsorbents. It was found that F-functionalized nanospheres (xFFNs) demonstrated better enrichment effects towards PCBs due to stronger sigma (σ)-hole interactions. The xFFNs-coated SPME fiber showed excellent enrichment performance for PCBs, with detection limits of 0.08-0.89 ng L-1 for trace PCB quantification in treated sewage samples.
