nKhaled Axel Djebbari, a true mosaic of cultures . I proudly carry within me the rich heritage of France, Germany, Jewish roots, and Algerian, that shape my perspective. As an process engineer, I embarked on a journey of knowledge that took me to the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan, where I worked designing treatment units for liquid waste. TDriven by my unwavering curiosity, I immersed myself in research labs, delving into the captivating realms of biowaste valorization. But that's not all; my love for baking led me to embrace the art of crafting delectable sweets and bread. After all, I'm French at heart, and culinary endeavors are part of my DNA. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D., focusing on emergent contaminants in wastewater. Realizing that waste reduction is crucial Amidst the rigors of academia, I find solace in playing the piano, allowing the enchanting melodies of French chanson to transport me to another realm join me for this captivating presentation for sustainable env

Degradable Microplastics as Vector of Emergent Contaminants in Wastewater: Interactions and Mechanisms of Adsorption

Abstract

The study delves into the fundamental aspects of contaminant sorption onto microplastics by examining sorption kinetics and isotherm models. Notably, the research microplastics derived from primary plastics that contain additives. The investigation explores the influence of various conditions, such as ionic strength and pesticide concentration, on the sorption process. Additionally, the study explores the desorption of specific pesticides from plastic to gain insights into how this process unfolds in the environment, considering scenarios such as wastewater mixing or aeration tank exposure to air bubbles.
