Summary

This study explored how different types of microplastics bind to fulvic acid, a key component of dissolved organic matter in environmental waters, finding that the polymer type significantly affected binding strength and mechanism. The results help explain how microplastics interact with natural organic matter in aquatic environments.

Polymers

PE PP PS PVC

Microplastics (MPs) can interact with dissolved organic matter (DOM), a common component found in the environment. However, the effect of MPs type on its interaction with DOM has not been systematically studied. Therefore, the binding properties of different MPs with fulvic acid (FA) were explored in this study. The results showed that polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) had higher adsorption affinity for FA than polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The interaction between MPs and FA conformed to the pseudo-first-order model and Freundlich model (except PS). The interaction mechanisms between various MPs tested in this paper and FA are considered to be different. PP, PE and PS interacted with the aromatic structure of FA and were entrapped in the FA polymers by the carboxyl groups and CO bonds, resulting in a highly conjugated co-polymer, suggesting that oxygen-containing functional groups played a key role. However, it was assumed that the interaction between PVC and FA was more likely to be caused by hydrophobic interaction. This research will help to enhance our comprehension of the environmental behavior of MPs and their interaction with the DOM specifically.
