Consideringthe limitations of long-term antibiotic use, such as drug resistance,plant extracts offer an alternative approach to wound management.In this study, a Cu MOF-based composite hydrogel (MOF@Gel) was synthesizedusing natural polysaccharides such as chitosan and gelatin. The synthesizedMOF-composite hydrogel (MOF@Gel) was characterized using differenttechniques such as FT-IR, PXRD, rheology, and FE-SEM. The hydrogeldemonstrated injectability and self-healing ability, with a higherwater absorption capacity under alkaline pH conditions, which is importantfor a wound dressing.

Along with the release of the extract, copperions were also released from the hydrogel matrix, which was investigatedusing flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. Involving MOF to constructa hydrogel can raise concerns about the material’s cytocompatibility.Accordingly, cytocompatibility was assessed using C2C12 myoblast cells,which exhibited a cytocompatibility of 70.60 ± 2.12% at a concentrationof 3 mg/mL.

The advancement of techniques for the efficient,economical, and selective extraction of rhenium from metallurgicalwaste acids holds significant socio-economic value. In the presentstudy, a functional polymer designated CY-PPZ, characterized by aconjugated amine structure, was synthesized via a one-pot reactionemploying cyanuric chloride and piperazine as monomeric precursors,designed for the targeted adsorption of ReO₄^– ions. Experimental investigations revealed that CY-PPZ exhibitedsuperior adsorption performance for ReO₄^– across a broad pH range (2–8), achieving adsorption equilibriumwithin 480 min and demonstrating a maximum adsorption capacity of350.92 mg/g. The polymer also displayed remarkable selectivity andresistance to interference from competing ions, as evidenced by adistribution coefficient (<em>K</em>_d) of 14.34L/g. Notably, in simulated metallurgical waste acid solutions characterizedby elevated concentrations of competing anions, specifically witha molar ratio of ReO₄^– to NO₃^–, SO₄^2–, and Cl^– of 1:3000, the removal efficiency of ReO₄^– consistently exceeded 88.52%. Additionally, CY-PPZexhibited excellent recyclability, retaining a removal efficiencyof 90.20% after 8 successive adsorption–desorption cycles.Economic analysis indicated that each gram of CY-PPZ could yield anapproximate socio-economic value of $26.866. Mechanistic insightsobtained from XPS and DFT calculations confirmed that the primaryadsorption mechanisms involved synergistic electrostatic interactionsand chemical coordination between CY-PPZ and ReO₄^– ions.
