In this study, the adsorption of three divalent metals onto collected nylon MPs was investigated, revealing that the adsorption is spontaneous, endothermic, and mainly controlled by intraparticle diffusion. Langmuir and Freundlich models were successful in describing the adsorption isotherms.
In water environments, nylon microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals are two kinds of common pollutants. This study investigated the adsorption of three divalent metals (Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II)) onto collected nylon MPs as function of contact time, temperature, solution pH, ionic strength and concentration of fulvic acid (FA). The kinetic data fitted well with the Elovich and pseudo-second order equations. The result of shrinking core model (SCM) confirms that the adsorption of Cu(II) and Zn(II) was mainly controlled by intraparticle diffusion. The adsorption of three metal ions onto collected nylon MPs is spontaneous, endothermic, with an increased randomness in nature. The Langmuir and Freundlich models successfully described the adsorption isotherms. The speciation distributions of three divalent metals in aqueous solutions were identified to analyze the effects of initial solution pH, ionic strength and fulvic acid concentrations on the adsorption amounts. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicates the importance of surface O-containing groups of collected nylon MPs in controlling the adsorption of three metal ions. This research provides a clear theoretical basis for the behavior of nylon MPs as heavy metals (Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II)) carrier and highlights their environmental toxicity, which deserves to be further concerned.
