University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy (University of Minnesota) 2019
Alvin Burrows

Summary

This University of Minnesota thesis investigated the adsorption of freshwater dissolved organic matter to clay and polyethylene particles, with implications for understanding how plastics acquire surface coatings in aquatic environments. The research characterized adsorption kinetics and equilibria to inform understanding of microplastic-organic matter interactions.
