Removal of polystyrene nanoplastics from aqueous solutions by a novel magnetic zeolite adsorbent
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers synthesized a magnetic zeolite adsorbent using co-precipitation and tested it for removal of polystyrene nanoplastics from water, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 34.2 milligrams per gram. Iron oxide functional groups on the zeolite surface drove nanoplastic capture via electrostatic attraction, complexation, and pi-pi conjugation, and the material could be magnetically separated for reuse.
Transport of Nanoplastics in Saturated Zeolite: Effects of Flow Rate and Hydro-Chemical Conditions
AI summary Read the abstract
Column experiments showed that zeolite — a mineral common in natural soils — retains polystyrene nanoplastics through electrostatic attraction and physical straining, with retention decreasing at higher pore-water flow rates. Understanding how soil mineralogy and hydrology jointly govern nanoplastic transport is fundamental to predicting where these particles accumulate in the environment and how likely they are to reach groundwater and food-crop root zones.
