Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Over the last years, the number of publications reporting the amount of microplastic (MP) all over the world increased rapidly. But harmonised sampling, sample preparation and analysis strategies are missing. Commonly used methods are very time consuming and not comparable to each other. Hence,...Read more

On the Fenton oxidation of polystyrene microplastics

Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
This work aims at evaluating the fate of polystyrene (PS) microplastics along Fenton oxidation. Experiments were carried out under relatively severe operating conditions (80 ºC) given the high persistence of these solids to oxidation. Slight mass losses (up to 10%) were found after the Fenton...Read more

Nanoplastics mineralization by the intensified photo-Fenton process
(Corresponding) Ortiz D., Munoz M., Carbajo J., M. de Pedro Z., Casas J.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic systems has become one of the most challenging environmental issues nowadays. Although advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been widely studied for the treatment of persistent contaminants in water, their...Read more
