Adsorption by MOF-based fibrous membranes has attracted extensive interest for uranium separation due to its high efficiency and ease of scalability. However, the adsorption performance of these composite membranes greatly depends on the MOF loading. In this study, cellulose acetate electrospun membranes with a hierarchical porous structure (P-CA) were innovatively employed as substrates, enabling the preparation of composite membranes (P-CA@ZIF-67) with enhanced ZIF-67 loading (68.7 wt%). The synergistic effect of the abundant porosities and oxygen-containing groups in CA substrate membranes plays an important role in achieving high ZIF-67 loading. As expected, the P-CA@ZIF-67 membrane exhibits a prominent adsorption capacity for uranyl ions (684.9 mg/g at pH 3.0) and rapid kinetics (equilibrium time: 40 min). Furthermore, the uranium capacity retains 91 % of its initial value after five cycles, and an excellent uranium adsorption capacity of 1.22 mg/g is achieved after a 24-hour immersion in simulated seawater. These results highlight the application potential of the prepared membranes in the field of uranium adsorption from aqueous solutions. Meanwhile, the proposed strategy may present a new approach for fabricating efficient MOF-based fibrous membranes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering","volume":"14 2","pages":"Article 121261"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145981688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novelty of this study lies in a systematic investigation of Cu²⁺ migration and its impacts on BEF system performance, including Fe²⁺/Fe³ ⁺ redox cycling, microbial community distribution, pollutant degradation efficiency, cathode stability, and metal release. In addition, the influence of different three-chamber BEF configurations on Cu²⁺ migration and overall system performance is examined.

The results show that Ca extraction increases significantly with increasing MA concentration and leaching time, reaching a maximum of 97.89 % at a MA/Ca molar ratio of 2:1 for 5 min.

Planktonic cell counts in the solution increased linearly to 1.3 × 10⁷ CFU/mL without loss of anodic and cathodic biofilms viability (&gt;99 %). <em>Enterococcus</em> with the relative abundance of 21.5 % dominated the anodic biofilm, whereas <em>Methanobacterium</em> (62.1 %) prevailed in the cathodic biofilm. High performance of the pulsed-flow MEC could be attributed to enhance biogas stripping and mass transfer in the anodic and cathodic biofilms. This study may provide a feasible way to enhance the performance of MEC in kitchen waste treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering","volume":"14 2","pages":"Article 121252"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145981188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
