Acute toxicity of polystyrene microplastics and cobalt assessed individually or in combination on “Amphibalanus amphitrite”

(Corresponding) NOUSHEEN R., Rittschof D., Hashmi I.

Topic:

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

Study was carried out to assess the ecotoxicity and interaction of polystyrene (PS) microspheres and trace element, cobalt (Co). Stage II nauplii of Amphibalanus amphitrite were exposed to environmentally relevant (250 and 1000 particles/ml) and future high (2000 particles/ml) concentrationss of...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
