Heterogeneous aggregation of microplastics and mineral particles in aquatic environments: Effects of surface functional groups, pH, and electrolytes

Heterogeneous aggregation of microplastics and mineral particles in aquatic environments: Effects of surface functional groups, pH, and electrolytes

Microplastics (MPs) aggregation critically governs their environmental transport, yet interactions with mineral surfaces remain underexplored. In this study, polyethylene (PE) MPs were employed as model particles to prepare both pristine PE and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated PE (B-PE). The hetero...
