Plastics are commonly used for packaging in the food industry. The most popular thermoplastic materials that have found such applications polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and polystyrene (PS). Unfortunately, plastic is disposable. As a consequence, significant amounts of waste generated, entering environment, undergoing degradation processes. They can occur under influence mechanical forces, temperature, light, chemical, biological factors. These factors present synergistic or antagonistic effects. result their action, microplastics formed, which undergo further fragmentation decomposition into small-molecule compounds. During process, various additives at plastics' processing stage also be released. Both negatively affect human animal health. Determination negative consequences on environment health not possible without knowing course processes products. In this article, we sources microplastics, causes places formation, transport particles, plastics often production storage, affecting said its

Microplastics degradation stimulated by in-situ bioelectric field in agricultural soils

Environment International, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 177, С. 108035 - 108035

Bioelectric field is a stimulated force to degrade xenobiotic pollutants in soils. However, the effect of bioelectric on microplastics (MPs) aging unclear. The degradation behavior polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE) and polylactic acid (PLA) was investigated an agricultural soil microbial electrochemical system which generated in-situ by native microbes. Based density function theory, energy gaps between highest lowest occupied molecular orbitals three polymers with periodic structure were 4.20, 7.24 10.09 eV respectively, further decreased under electric field, indicating higher hydrolysis potential PLA. Meanwhile, mass loss PLA closed-circuit group (CC) day 120, reaching 8.94%, 3.01-3.54 times that without stimulation. This mainly due enrichment plastic-degrading bacteria robust co-occurrence network as deterministic assembly process, e.g., abundance surface PVC CC increased 1.92 1.30 times, compared open-circuit group. In terms functional genes, biodegradation metabolism capacity plasticsphere stronger than soil, determined bioaccessibility nitrogen carbon. Overall, this study explored promoting MPs reveled mechanism from quantum chemical calculations community analysis, provides novel perception MPs.
