Abstract:In an aqueous environment, the aggregation between minerals and polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs) is a crucial process affecting the geochemical behavior of PSNPs. Mineral morphology is an important factor determining their properties, further influencing the heteroaggregation of PSNPminerals. In this study, the aggregation between PSNPs and three morphologies of boehmite (γ-AlOOH) was investigated, and the effects of pH, electrolytes, and hydrogen bonds were discussed to further explore the mechanism. The resu… Show more
