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.
