Summary

This study evaluated how iron (Fe3+) coagulation affects humic acid removal from water, characterizing changes in organic matter structure through spectroscopic analysis. Humic acids in natural water can associate with microplastics and affect their behavior and toxicity in aquatic environments.

Los ácidos húmicos (AHs) son los componentes principales y más abundantes de la materia orgánica (MO). En este estudio se realizó una evaluación de AHs mediante parámetros espectroscópicos, posteriormente a un proceso de aglomeración, coagulación y microfiltración en presencia de hierro (Fe3+) como agente coagulante y mediante la cuantificación por el método de calibración. También se analizó fisicoquímicamente el comportamiento de la macromolécula de húmico en presencia del metal, ajustando el pH a 5, condición a la que se lleva a cabo la deprotonación de los grupos carboxílicos (-COOH), estabilizando las cargas negativas con una concentración mínima pero efectiva de la sal de Fe3+(3 mM). Mediante este proceso se logró eliminar un promedio del 96% de AH como MO en solución. Las cinéticas del proceso de interacción AH-Fe se desarrollaron en tiempos cortos, menores a los 5 min. No obstante, los espectros presentan una gran similitud en relación con las absorbancias, sin embargo, es recomendable llevar a cabo la microfiltración en los primeros 30 min de reacción.

Análisis fisicoquímico de interacción de los ácidos húmicos con colorante (rojo allura AC) en presencia de metales

Researchers performed physicochemical analysis of humic acid aggregation and coagulation with the food dye Allura Red (Red 40) in the presence of Fe3+, Al3+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ coagulants at pH 5 and 7, finding that humic acid from leonardite showed the greatest interaction with Fe3+ at pH 5, removing up to 68% of organic matter, with overall dye removal efficiencies of 50-60% at neutral pH.

Induced structural changes of humic acid by exposure of polystyrene microplastics: A spectroscopic insight

Researchers used spectroscopic methods to investigate how polystyrene microplastics interact with dissolved organic matter at the molecular level. They found that microplastics bind to the aromatic structures of humic acid through chemical bonding, forming a highly conjugated co-polymer complex with altered structural properties. The study reveals that microplastics can fundamentally change the chemistry of natural organic matter in aquatic environments, which may affect pollutant transport and biogeochemical cycles.

Coagulation performance and mechanism of different hydrolyzed aluminum species for the removal of composite pollutants of polyethylene and humic acid

Researchers examined how different forms of hydrolyzed aluminum coagulants remove polyethylene microplastics and humic acid from water. The study found that when humic acid adsorbs onto microplastic surfaces, it changes the removal dynamics, and polyaluminum chloride with hexagonal clusters achieved the best microplastic removal through adsorption bridging and sweeping mechanisms.

Removal and toxic forecast of microplastics treated by electrocoagulation: Influence of dissolved organic matter

Electrocoagulation was evaluated for removing microplastics from water, with researchers investigating how co-pollutants and water chemistry affect removal efficiency and identifying the degradation products and toxicity of residual MPs post-treatment. The method showed high removal rates under optimized conditions but generated some toxic byproducts that require further management.
