Dual-targeted phosphorus and COD removal by engineered amine-modified zeolite with pH self-regulation and competitive adsorption selectivity.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Elevated total phosphorus (TP) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) drive dissolved oxygen depletion and black-odorous water formation in surface waters. To address this dual contamination challenge, this study engineered an amine-modified zeolite (AMZ) adsorbent. The functionalization process was meticulously refined using orthogonal experimental design, systematically optimizing critical parameters like amine type, concentration and temperature to maximize performance. The resulting AMZ demonstrated exceptional co-removal capabilities, achieving > 90% TP and > 80% COD removal efficiency across an exceptionally wide pH range (3-10) in both single-component and competitive binary systems. Crucially, AMZ uniquely stabilized treated effluent pH near neutrality (7.2 ± 0.2), a significant operational advantage. NaCl-enabled regeneration maintained > 90% TP and > 80% COD removal efficiency over multiple cycles. AMZ demonstrated robust performance in authentic wastewater matrices. The cost-performance advantage of AMZ becomes evident when benchmarked against commercial alternatives. SEM revealed a multilayered flake morphology enhancing active site accessibility. This study provides the first demonstration of site-specific selectivity in competitive adsorption of TP and COD on amine-functionalized zeolite: electrostatic sites (quaternary ammonium groups) favored HPO
