Interfacial interaction between micro/nanoplastics and typical PPCPs and nanoplastics removal via electrosorption from an aqueous solution
Abstract
Micro/nanoplastics have raised worldwide concern with extensive research on its transfer, toxicity and removal. However, the primary environmental process-adsorption of nanoplastics has not been uncovered since the discovery of nanosized plastics. Here, we synthesized nanoscale polystyrene (PS) particles with mean diameter of ∼40 nm to avoid unknown properties from purchased ones, and thoroughly investigated its adsorption towards two typical pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) with distinct characteristics, which are antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) and endocrine disruptor (bisphenol-A). Moreover, UV radiation is applied to simulate aging process in natural cases, and the carbonyl index derived from FTIR spectra increased clearly from 0.183 to 0.387. The adsorption capacity at equilibrium of CIP and BPA increased from 0.15 to 4.07 to 4.92 and 8.71 mg/g after weathering, respectively. Besides, the effect of environmental factors (pH, humic acid, salinity and cations) was also studied. Furthermore, electrosorption technology is applied to remove nanoplastics in solution for the first time, with the capacity of 0.707 g nano-polystyrene/g AC and 0.322 g aged-nano-polystyrene/g AC, suggesting that adsorption under electric field is presumably a feasible tertiary treatment method targeted at nanoplastics in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
