The suitability and mechanism of polyaluminum-titanium chloride composite coagulant (PATC) for polystyrene microplastic removal: Structural characterization and theoretical calculation

Beibei Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel polymerized polyaluminum-titanium chloride composite coagulant (PATC) was prepared and used to remove polystyrene (PS). PATC was found to compress or destroy the surface layer of negatively charged PS, leading to a more efficient removal of PS particles compared to other coagulants. The interaction between PATC and PS was mainly polar interaction, such as hydrogen bonding. This study provides systematic knowledge for understanding the interaction between PS, NOM, and coagulant hydrolysates, and confirms the application potential of PATC for MPs removal.

The heteroaggregation and deposition behavior of nanoplastics on Al2O3 in aquatic environments

Jiayan Wu et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the interaction between polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) and Al2O3 under different conditions. It was found that significant heteroaggregation occurred between PSNPs and Al2O3 under acidic and neutral conditions. The NaCl concentration and pH values influenced the deposition of PSNPs on Al2O3 surfaces. Humic acid and fulvic acid prevented the deposition of PSNPs, with humic acid being more effective. The research provides insights into the migration and fate of PSNPs in aquatic environments.

Coagulation behavior of polyaluminum-titanium chloride composite coagulant with humic acid: A mechanism analysis

Beibei Liu et al.

Summary: The hydrolysate species of metal-based coagulants and the binding sites of humic acid are highly dependent on the pH conditions. The study found that oligomeric and mesopolymeric hydrolysates were the dominant species under acid conditions and could complex with the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of humic acid. With the increase of pH, the hydrolysis process of the coagulant and the deprotonation of humic acid were simultaneously underway. Under weakly acid conditions, the complexation of the aluminum hydrolysates with carboxyl groups was improved. Under alkaline conditions, the sweeping effect of amorphous hydroxide dominated the humic acid removals.

Pre-aggregation of Al13 in optimizing coagulation for removal of humic acid

Ye Yue et al.

Summary: The study investigated the coagulation mechanism for removing humic acid (HA) using Al-13 and optimized its operation. Results showed that preformed Al(13)agg performed better than Al-13 in removing HA, due to its wider pH range and lower residual aluminum levels. The different coagulation mechanisms for Al-13 and Al(13)agg played roles in HA removal, with complexation and charge neutralization dominating for Al-13 and sweep flocculation and adsorption coagulation being the main driving forces for Al(13)agg.
