Electrochemical and microbiological response of exoelectrogenic biofilm to polyethylene microplastics in water

Song Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of polyethylene (PE) microplastics on exoelectrogenic biofilm. The experiments reveal that an increase in PE microplastics concentration leads to a decline in current density and abundance of electroactive bacteria in the biofilm. The viability of the biofilm is also restrained by the presence of PE microplastics, resulting in higher system electrode resistance. Furthermore, microbial community richness and expression of electron transfer-related genes decrease after the addition of microplastics.

Coexistence of polyethylene microplastics and biochar increases ammonium sorption in an aqueous solution

Xiaona Li et al.

Summary: Biochar is commonly used for NH4+ removal from wastewater, and in this study, the interaction between microplastics and biochars in the sorption of NH4+ was investigated. Results suggest that microplastics can adsorb NH4+ and enhance the NH4+ sorption capacity of biochars.

Influence of biodegradable polybutylene succinate and non-biodegradable polyvinyl chloride microplastics on anammox sludge: Performance evaluation, suppression effect and metagenomic analysis

Linqin Tang et al.

Summary: Research has found that PBS and PVC microplastics reduce the nitrite removal efficiency of anammox sludge, while PBS MPs have a positive effect on the polysaccharide content in the sludge. In addition, non-biodegradable PVC MPs are more harmful to anammox sludge and warrant attention.

Adsorption and thermal degradation of microplastics from aqueous solutions by Mg/Zn modified magnetic biochars

Jun Wang et al.

Summary: The study introduces efficient Mg/Zn modified magnetic biochar adsorbents for microplastic removal, showing high removal efficiencies in removing polystyrene microspheres from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process is attributed to electrostatic and chemical bonding interactions. Real water components can influence the removal efficiency, highlighting the competitive adsorption effect. Thermal treatment facilitates microplastic degradation and adsorbent regeneration, maintaining high removal efficiency even after multiple cycles. These low-cost, eco-friendly Mg/Zn-MBCs show promising potential for microplastic removal applications.
