Simultaneous adsorption of Pb2+ and tetracycline onto pristine and aged polypropylene microplastics
Effect of Microplastics on Cu2+ Adsorption by β-cyclodextrin Modified Biochar
AI summary Read the abstract
This study found that both polypropylene and polystyrene microplastics significantly inhibited copper ion adsorption by a novel beta-cyclodextrin modified biochar in water remediation tests, reducing maximum copper uptake by up to 24% through surface blocking and pore occlusion. The results reveal that co-occurring microplastics can undermine the effectiveness of engineered adsorbents for heavy metal removal, complicating real-world water treatment in contaminated environments where multiple pollutants coexist.
Interaction Between Polyurethane Microplastics and Ciprofloxacin: A Study on Adsorption Behaviour and Ecological Implications
AI summary Read the abstract
Polyurethane microplastics adsorb the antibiotic ciprofloxacin, creating combined pollutant complexes with potential ecological implications for aquatic environments. This interaction highlights how microplastics can serve as carriers for toxic co-contaminants, amplifying environmental risks beyond what either pollutant poses alone.
Interaction Between Polyurethane Microplastics and Ciprofloxacin: A Study on Adsorption Behaviour and Ecological Implications
AI summary Read the abstract
Polyurethane microplastics demonstrate significant adsorption capacity for the antibiotic ciprofloxacin, suggesting that plastic particles in aquatic environments can act as vectors for pharmaceutical pollutants. This interaction raises ecological concerns about the combined toxicity of microplastic-antibiotic complexes in waterways and their potential impacts on aquatic organisms and antimicrobial resistance.
Adsorption of Tylosin and Tetracycline onto Microplastics: Behavior and Effects of Adsorbents and Salinity
AI summary Read the abstract
Batch adsorption experiments showed that polyethylene, polystyrene, and PVC microplastics can adsorb the antibiotics tylosin and tetracycline, with PVC showing the highest adsorption capacity and salinity enhancing tylosin uptake through a salting-out effect. This confirms that environmental microplastics act as mobile carriers for antibiotic pollutants, potentially spreading antimicrobial resistance to new ecosystems and amplifying the health risks of plastic pollution.
