Adsorption of antibiotics on different microplastics (MPs): Behavior and mechanism

Li Wang et al.

Summary: The adsorption behavior and mechanism of three antibiotics onto four types of microplastics were studied. The results showed that the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Freundlich isotherm model, and was simultaneously governed by physical processes. The adsorption of antibiotics was inhibited by salt concentration, pH, humic acid concentration, and sodium alginate concentration.

Changes in metal adsorption ability of microplastics upon loss of calcium carbonate filler masterbatch through natural aging

Jiangmin Zhou et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the loss of CaCO3 filler masterbatch on the adsorption ability of microplastics from plastic woven bags during the natural aging process. The results showed that CaCO3 separated and agglomerated on the surfaces of the microplastics after a certain duration of aging, leading to a decrease in density. The adsorption of Cu(II) on the microplastics also decreased with aging. These findings provide a basis for further understanding the potential environmental risks associated with plastic woven bags.

Summary: The adsorption behaviors of Cu(II) and tetracycline (TC) on polyethylene microplastics exposed to different environments varied, with marine- and soil-exposed microplastics showing higher adsorption and stabilization capacities.

Summary: The study found that polar microplastics have higher adsorption capacities for organic compounds than nonpolar microplastics, with adsorption mechanisms mainly involving non-specific interactions and polar interactions. Poly-parameter linear free energy relationships (pp-LFERs) with multiple linear regression (MLR) and feedforward network (FN) models were used to model the adsorption of OCs on MPs, with MLR models being more accurate at selected equilibrium concentrations and FN models capable of predicting under varying equilibrium concentrations. Both MLR and FN models showed good prediction accuracy on literature data for adsorption on nonpolar MPs.
