“…At this point, it is also crucial to select and scale up an imprinting strategy. For example, boronate affinity imprinting, stimuli-responsive imprinting, fragment template imprinting, or dummy template imprinting (Bhogal et al 2021 ) will best meet the requirements of the real-scale water/wastewater treatment processes. Second, the large-scale handling, dispersion, and physicochemical stabilization of the selected multiple-template adsorbent-type molecularly imprinted polymers within the successive unit operations of the industrial water/wastewater treatment systems have to be optimized.…”

The release of pharmaceuticals into the environment induces adverse effects on the metabolism of humans and other living species, calling for advanced remediation methods. Conventional removal methods are often non-selective and cause secondary contamination. These issues may be partly solved by the use of recently-developped adsorbents such as molecularly imprinted polymers. Here we review the synthesis and application of molecularly imprinted polymers for removing pharmaceuticals in water. Molecularly imprinted polymers are synthesized via several multiple-step polymerization methods. Molecularly imprinted polymers are potent adsorbents at the laboratory scale, yet their efficiency is limited by template leakage and polymer quality. Adsorption performance of multi-templated molecularly imprinted polymers depends on the design of wastewater treatment plants, pharmaceutical consumption patterns and the population serviced by these wastewater treatment plants.

“…Imprinting technology is a multidisciplinary approach that bio-mimics the interactions of enzyme–substrate and antigen–antibody occurring in living systems in order to produce selective, resistant and reusable imprinted materials (i.e., polymers and membranes). These advanced separation tools exhibit high selective recognition and separation properties toward a specific compound of interest (both called “template” [ 7 , 12 , 13 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 ]. Currently, molecularly imprinted polymers are produced at the research and industrial levels and are employed in different areas of science and technology [ 13 , 114 , 116 , 117 , 118 ].…”

Technological progress has made chemistry assume a role of primary importance in our daily life. However, the worsening of the level of environmental pollution is increasingly leading to the realization of more eco-friendly chemical processes due to the advent of green chemistry. The challenge of green chemistry is to produce more and better while consuming and rejecting less. It represents a profitable approach to address environmental problems and the new demands of industrial competitiveness. The concept of green chemistry finds application in several material syntheses such as organic, inorganic, and coordination materials and nanomaterials. One of the different goals pursued in the field of materials science is the application of GC for producing sustainable green polymers and membranes. In this context, extremely relevant is the application of green chemistry in the production of imprinted materials by means of its combination with molecular imprinting technology. Referring to this issue, in the present review, the application of the concept of green chemistry in the production of polymeric materials is discussed. In addition, the principles of green molecular imprinting as well as their application in developing greenificated, imprinted polymers and membranes are presented. In particular, green actions (e.g., the use of harmless chemicals, natural polymers, ultrasound-assisted synthesis and extraction, supercritical CO2, etc.) characterizing the imprinting and the post-imprinting process for producing green molecularly imprinted membranes are highlighted.

“…The development of ET-MSPE approaches closely relies on innovation of adsorbents/extractants, and the increasing development of novel nanomaterials provides a broad array of adsorbent choices. Many types of nanomaterials have been employed in the pretreatment steps for food and environmental sample analyses [18,19], including carbon nanomaterials [20], metal organic frameworks (MOFs) [21], covalent organic frameworks (COFs) [22], and molecularly imprinted polymers [23]. Among these nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and reduced graphene (rGO) have excellent mechanical, optical and electrochemical properties, resulting in their widespread utilized in the adsorption and removal of pollutants [20,24].…”
