Abstract

Pollution of water bodies has raised a serious concern, leading to an immediate need to promote effective treatment technologies that can remove organic and inorganic pollutants from wastewater. The review explores the diverse applications of urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin composites as effective tools for addressing wastewater issues. UF resins show great promise in removing organic and inorganic pollutants such as dyes, phenolic compounds, and heavy metals due to their high adsorption capacity, stability, and cost-effectiveness. Recent advancements in the synthesis and modification of UF resin-based composites, particularly through the incorporation of materials like activated carbon and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, have significantly improved their pollutant-binding efficiency and stability under variable environmental conditions. The review also outlines challenges and prospective trends aimed at developing greener hybrid UF composites with greater performance and minimal environmental impact.

期刊介绍： Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
