KARACHI: A team of researchers from Pakistan and Australia has developed adsorbents in the form of powder, capable of removing microplastics and other contaminants from wastewater at a lightning speed. The material, which looks like ordinary powder, is actually made up of microscopic and ferromagnetic “nanopillard structures”. The carefully-designed particles are composed of two sheets (two-dimensional) of metal-organic framework (MOF), with an array of carbon-encapsulated iron oxide nanopillars sandwiched in a gap between them. A magnet attracts the material that the team used to make adsorbents that remove microplastics and dissolved pollutants from water.
