Transport of eco-corona coated nanoplastics in coastal sediments
Transport is a critical process for understanding the fate and risk of nanoplastics (NPs) in marine environments. In this work, vertical transport of polystyrene (PS) NPs with different surface properties in marine sediments were investigated. Two types of Pd-doped (PS-Pd, 100 nm) NPs with distinct hydrophobicity were successfully synthesized, and both types of NPs showed weak and insignificant transport, with ratio of maximum effluent to influent NPs concentrations (Meff) at 10 %-11 %. This is mainly due to physical straining of both NPs as caused by strong aggregation as confirmed by advection-dispersion modelling. Two functionalized NPs (PS-COOH and PS-NH2) showed strong transport in marine sediment, mainly because of weak physical straining. Negatively charged and less hydrophobic PS-COOH NPs exhibited stronger transport (Meff, 43 %) than PS-NH2 NPs (Meff, 15 %). Heteroaggregation experiments and TEM-EDS mapping demonstrated that weak hydrophobic interaction with organic matter and electrostatic attraction with minerals were the main reasons for higher transport of PS-COOH than PS-NH2. The formation of eco-corona on NPs inhibited the transport of PS-COOH NPs. However, eco-corona enhanced PS-NH2 NPs transport (Meff, 20 ± 5 %) because of decreased electrostatic attraction. Interestingly, for the two PS-Pd NPs, the transport performed differently after eco-corona coating, in which the transport of hydrophilic PS-Pd-1 decreased after eco-corona coating due to increased hydrophobic interaction, while the increased transport of hydrophobic PS-Pd-2 was caused by weakened physical straining in sediments. These results provide insight into transport mechanism of NPs, and highlight critical roles of eco-corona in the fate and processes of NPs in marine sediments.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
