Adsorption behavior of commercial biodegradable plastics towards pollutants during the biodegradation process: Taking starch-based biodegradable microplastics, oxytetracycline and Cu (II) as examples
With the widespread use of biodegradable plastic bags, their potential environmental risks need further assessment. This study focused on commercial starch-based blended biodegradable microplastics (70% Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)+5% Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)+20% Thermoplastic starch (TPS), PPT MPs) to investigate their adsorption behaviors towards Cu(II) and oxytetracycline (OTC) under microbial colonization and biodegradation. Post-biodegradation, the hydroxyl (–OH) peak intensity of starch in PPT significantly decreased, while carbonyl (C=O) peaks of PBAT and PLA broadened, with O/C ratio rising from 14.65% to 35.82%. The starch’s degradation in PPT altered its thermal properties. Microbial colonization on PPT (B-PPT) enhanced Cu(II) and OTC adsorption, while biodegradation (D-PPT) reduced their adsorption. Reduced surface carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, alongside increased crystallinity, diminished D-PPT’s Cu(II) adsorption. While OTC adsorption, driven by hydrophobic partitioning, was less affected by biodegradation. In the binary pollutant system, the Cu(II) and OTC adsorption of D-PPT increased by 20.27% and 8.63 times, respectively; B-PPT showed decreased adsorption of both. Coexisting organic matter and pH significantly affected PPT’s adsorption behavior by altering Cu(II) and OTC speciation, and influencing adsorption competition, hydrogen bonding and bridging effects. This study is the first to explore biodegradation impacts of commercial starch-based microplastics on typical heavy metals and antibiotics adsorption, providing important theoretical insights for understanding their environmental risks.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
