Researchers at the University of the Balearic Islands have developed a method that is capable of monitoring and absorbing contaminants in water. In his doctoral thesis, Mateo del Río, part of the chemical materials research group, presented a system of magnetic properties from the MOF-74 metal-organic framework which, when combined with carbon porosity and metal-organic functionality in water, can extract contaminants such as microplastics or colourants used by the textile industry.
