The abundance, characteristics and risk of microplastics in surface water in urban artificial steams of Saudi Arabia

(Corresponding) Barceló D., Alfarhan A., El-Sheikh M., Picó Y.

Topic:

Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in water is an indicator of the increase of human impacts on the Earth. In this study, water of the channels and ponds that conduct a mix of surface water and treated wastewater in two cities of Saudi Arabia were assessed to ascertain the influence of the...Read more

Interactions between microplastics and organic pollutants: Effects on transport and bioaccumulation: from the lab to the environment

(Corresponding) Picó Y., Campo J., Alfarhan A., El-Sheikh M., Barceló D.

Topic:

Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies

Microplastics (MPs) have the ability to extract/preconcentrate other contaminants from water samples and could also act as vectors to other environmental compartments. The occurrence and distribution of MPs in different points of Al-Jubail, the most important industrial city, and the second biggest...Read more

On the Fenton oxidation of polystyrene microplastics

(Corresponding) Munoz M., Ortiz D., Nieto-Sandoval J., Romera-Castillo C., de Pedro Z., Casas J.

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
