Freeze-Thaw Cycle-Enhanced Transformation of Iodide to Organoiodine Compounds in the Presence of Natural Organic Matter and Fe(III)

Juanshan Du et al.

Summary: The formation of organoiodine compounds (OICs) is significantly enhanced in frozen solutions containing Fe(III) and NOM, particularly after thawing. The freeze-thaw cycle is more efficient in producing OICs compared to continuous reactions in frozen solutions. Aromatic organic compounds induce higher OIC formation yields in freeze-thaw systems.

Exposure of nanoplastics to freeze-thaw leads to aggregation and reduced transport in model groundwater environments

Olubukola S. Alimi et al.

Summary: Nanoplastics exposed to freeze-thaw cycles in cold climates tend to aggregate and have reduced mobility, especially at low ionic strengths, despite the presence of natural organic matter. While NOM can enhance nanoplastic mobility, it cannot prevent aggregation under freeze-thaw conditions.

Release of soil colloids during flow interruption increases the pore-water PFAS concentration in saturated soil*

Annesh Borthakur et al.

Summary: This study examined the effects of flow interruption on PFAS transport in porous media. The results showed that after flow interruption, the PFAS concentration did not decrease, potentially due to enhanced release of colloid-associated PFAS. Colloids may play a disproportionate role in the transport of PFAS in conditions that release colloids from porous media.

Cotransport and deposition of colloidal polystyrene microplastic particles and tetracycline in porous media: The impact of ionic strength and cationic types

Peng Zhao et al.

Summary: The co-transport behaviors of colloidal polystyrene microplastic particles (PSMPs) and tetracycline (TC) were found to be complex and influenced by ionic strengths in saturated porous media. The presence of TC affected the mobility of PSMPs differently in K+ and Ca2+ solutions, while the attachment efficiencies of both PSMPs and TC showed non-linear and non-monotonic changes with increases in ionic strength, particularly in CaCl2 solutions. The balance between transport-inhibiting and transport-facilitating effects, such as TC adsorption on PSMPs, played a critical role in the observed changes.

Freeze-thaw cycles promote vertical migration of metal oxide nanoparticles in soils

Guanghui Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the migration of three commonly used ENPs in different soil types under freeze-thaw cycles. The migration rate of ENPs was found to be highest in black soil, with CeO2-NPs demonstrating the highest mobility among the three ENPs. Higher moisture content and lower freezing temperature were found to increase the migration depth and affect the behavior of ENPs in soils.

Evaluation of the impact of freeze-thaw cycles on pore structure characteristics of black soil using X-ray computed tomography

Bo Liu et al.

Summary: Freeze-thaw cycles have a significant impact on soil pore structure, increasing both porosity and complexity of pore-throat networks. Macroporosity plays a key role in the increase of total porosity, with the number of pores and paths positively correlated with macroporosity. The freeze-thaw effect mainly affects pores with larger effective diameters, leading to more branch paths and throats.

Summary: The transport of antibiotic resistance plasmids in porous media is a significant process that contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance among pathogens in the environment.
