Adsorption of micropollutants onto realistic microplastics: Role of microplastic nature, size, age, and NOM fouling

Chemosphere, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 283, С. 131085 - 131085

This work aims at evaluating the role of nature, size, age, and natural organic matter (NOM) fouling realistic microplastics (MPs) on adsorption two persistent micropollutants (diclofenac (DCF) metronidazole (MNZ)). For such goal, four representative polymer types (polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP) high-density (HDPE)) were tested. MPs obtained by cryogenic milling different commercial materials (disposable bottles, containers, trays), fully characterized (optical microscopic SEM images, FTIR, elemental analysis, water contact angle pHslurry). The hydrophobicity determined to a high extent their removal yield from water. Regardless MP's capacity for DCF was considerably higher than achieved MNZ, which can be related its stronger hydrophobic properties aromatic character. In fact, (PS PET) showed highest values with (~100 μg g−1). MP size also played key capacity, found increase decreasing particle (20–1000 μm). aging (simulated Fenton oxidation) led substantial changes sorption behavior. Oxidized exhibited acidic surface strong decrease micropollutant but an hydrophilic one (MNZ). NOM (WWTP effluent, river water, humic acid solution) dramatic due sites blocking. Finally, pH or salinity aqueous medium increased desorption.

High concentration and high dose of disinfectants and antibiotics used during the COVID-19 pandemic threaten human health

Environmental Sciences Europe, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 33(1)

Abstract The issue of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has created enormous threat to global health. In an effort contain the spread COVID-19, a huge amount disinfectants and antibiotics have been utilized on public Accordingly, concentration is increasing rapidly in various environments, including wastewater, surface waters, soils sediments. aims this study were analyze potential ecological environment impacts summarizing their utilization, environmental occurrence, distribution toxicity. paper highlights promoting effects antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) even resistant bacteria (ARB). scientific evidences indicate that high dose promote evolution toward antimicrobial through horizontal gene transformation vertical transformation, which threaten human Further concerns should be focused more enrichment, bioaccumulation biomagnification disinfectants, antibiotics, (ARB) bodies.

A comprehensive review on the use of algal-bacterial systems for wastewater treatment with emphasis on nutrient and micropollutant removal

Bioengineered, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13(4), С. 10412 - 10453

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2022

The scarcity of water resources and environmental pollution have highlighted the need for sustainable wastewater treatment. Existing conventional treatment systems are energy-intensive not always able to meet stringent disposal standards. Recently, algal-bacterial emerged as environmentally friendly processes resource recovery. work on principle symbiotic relationship between algae bacteria. This paper comprehensively discusses most recent studies treatment, factors affecting aspects recovery from biomass. interaction includes cell-to-cell communication, substrate exchange, horizontal gene transfer. quorum sensing (QS) molecules their effects algal–bacterial interactions briefly discussed. effect such pH, temperature, C/N/P ratio, light intensity, external aeration been An overview modeling has provided. potential removing micropollutants because diverse possible algae-bacteria. removal mechanisms – sorption, biodegradation, photodegradation, reviewed. harvesting methods presented. major challenges associated with real scale implementation future perspectives Integrating algal biorefinery concept reduces overall waste component in a system by converting biomass into useful product, resulting that contributes circular bioeconomy.
