Abstract
The biodegradable film that exhibited excellent physical barrier properties and the function to degrade smelly organic pollutants (SOP) had been successfully synthesized in this study. The organic intercalation-modified bentonite that loaded with CaO2 (OBT@CaO2) was synthesized initially, which would serve as a layered nano-filler to modify the long-chain (polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate) branched polylactic acid (PLA/PBAT), to produce the SOP diffusion control film (OBT@CaO2-PLA/PBAT, OCPP). OBT@CaO2 could improve the initial tensile strength (46.5 ± 6.53 MPa) and elongation at break (412.8 ± 9.25%) of OCPP film, and the O2 transmission rate was as low as 44.89 cc/m2∙day. Although the saturated adsorption capacity of SOP on OBT@CaO2 decreased with olfactory thresholds, the penetration time correspondingly increased due to reduced degradation difficulty. OCPP film showed excellent SOP control performance in laboratory and large-scale tests at actual pesticide industrial contaminated sites (PICSs). The diffusion fluxes of SOP exhibited a reduction of at least 84.0% within 14 days, and the effectiveness of SOP control increased over time. This improvement is attributed to the gradual release of H2O2 by OBT@CaO2, enabling the effective degradation of SOP that adsorbed on it, thereby continuously providing adsorption sites. The research can provide a low-cost and green approach for long-term diffusion control of SOP at contaminated sites that are not limited to PICSs.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Environmental Research is a multidisciplinary journal concerned with all aspects of environment. In pursuit of these, environmentalist disciplines are invited to contribute their knowledge and experience. International Journal of Environmental Research publishes original research papers, research notes and reviews across the broad field of environment. These include but are not limited to environmental science, environmental engineering, environmental management and planning and environmental design, urban and regional landscape design and natural disaster management. Thus high quality research papers or reviews dealing with any aspect of environment are welcomed. Papers may be theoretical, interpretative or experimental.
