Aggregation of carboxyl-modified polystyrene nanoplastics in water with aluminum chloride: Structural characterization and theoretical calculation

Yanyan Gong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the removal effectiveness and mechanisms of carboxyl-modified polystyrene nanoplastics using aluminum chloride as a coagulant. The results showed that a simple coagulation and sedimentation process efficiently removed a high percentage of PS-COOH from water, providing new insights for the treatment of nanoplastics pollution. This research highlights the importance of exploring effective removal technologies for mitigating the toxic effects of nanoplastics in aquatic systems.

Nanoplastics dominate the cotransport of small-scale plastics in seawater-saturated porous media

Yuanzhang Hou et al.

Summary: This study investigates the interaction and cotransport of nanoplastics (NP), submicroplastics (SP), and microplastics (MP) in marine sedimentary environments. The results show that unstable NP plays a dominant role in the cotransport of NP-SP-MP, affecting the formation of aggregates and their mobility in sandy sediments.

A critical review of interactions between microplastics, microalgae and aquatic ecosystem function

Veronica Nava et al.

Summary: The interactions between microplastics and microalgae can affect their respective fates, with implications for algal growth, photosynthetic activity, morphology, and ultimately energy fluxes within aquatic ecosystems. The potential toxic effects of microplastics on microalgae may have consequences for the entire food web and alter aquatic productivity. Further research is needed to fully understand the extent and implications of these interactions at the ecosystem level.

The influence of hydrophobicity on sludge dewatering associated with cationic starch-based flocculants

Pan Hu et al.

Summary: CS-DMRs, hydrophobically associated cationic starch-based flocculants, improve sludge dewaterability by efficiently interacting with EPS, reducing filter cake moisture content and specific resistance to filtration, and forming drainage channels and net-like porous structures in the sludge cake.

Adsorption behaviour and interaction of organic micropollutants with nano and microplastics - A review

Yangmei Yu et al.

Summary: Organic micropollutants and nano/microplastics interact with each other, posing serious threats to aquatic ecosystems and affecting the accumulation risk of organic micropollutants in the food chain. Understanding the adsorption interactions between NPs/MPs and organic micropollutants is crucial for evaluating the fate of NPs/MPs in the environment.

Dewaterability of sewage sludge conditioned with a graft cationic starch-based flocculant: Role of structural characteristics of flocculant

Pan Hu et al.

Summary: Coagulation/flocculation is an extensive and cost-effective pretreatment method to improve sludge dewaterability in water treatment plants. Three series of graft cationic starch-based flocculants were synthesized, and their structural effects on sludge dewaterability were analyzed quantitatively. Among the structural factors, charge density was found to play a more important role in enhancing sludge dewaterability.

The suitability of titanium salts in coagulation removal of micropollutants and in alleviation of membrane fouling

Yonghai Gan et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the performances of three types of titanium coagulants in water treatment and found that titanium xerogel (TXC) showed better results in reducing membrane fouling. TXC demonstrated promising potential as a coagulant due to its superior floc properties, weaker pH-dependence, and higher resistance to coordination with organic pollutants. The observation sheds new lights on the fabrication and application of coagulants in various scenarios.

A One Health perspective of the impacts of microplastics on animal, human and environmental health

Joana C. Prata et al.

Summary: Microplastics contamination is widespread in the environment, with studies needing to consider particle concentrations, characteristics, and exposure conditions. The practical relevance of toxicity assays using concentrations much higher than expected in the environment is limited. A One Health approach provides a new perspective on the intersection of different areas, highlighting the need for more research to clarify the effects of microplastics on One Health under environmentally relevant conditions.

Microplastic removal in conventional drinking water treatment processes: Performance, mechanism, and potential risk

Sang-Heon Na et al.

Summary: The study found that the removal efficiency of microplastics in traditional drinking water treatment plants is influenced by the size of microplastics, the type of coagulant, and water characteristics. They used X-ray microcomputed tomography technique and two-site kinetic modeling to discover that microplastics below 20 microns were retained by attachment to the sand surface.
