Hypothesis: Naturally extracted polysaccharides, such as guar gum, are promising candidates for environmentally friendly flotation reagents. It is hypothesized that the kinetics of collision of sub- to millimeter gas bubbles with a hydrophobic graphite surface, and the stability of thin liquid film formed between the bubble and surface is affected by an adsorbed layer of guar gum. Experiments: A combination of gravimetric (quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation) and imaging (atomic force m...

Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and Dresden University of Technology (TUD) have unraveled the water adsorption mechanism in certain microporous materials – so-call ...

Understanding the behavior of coronaviruses during wastewater treatment processes is imperative, but little is known about the fate of coronaviruses during the coagulation of municipal wastewater by ferric chloride. This study investigated the fate of two surrogate coronaviruses, i.e., feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) and human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E), by measuring their infectivity in filtered and unfiltered raw wastewater subject to ferric coagulation. The dynamics of relevant w...

Over the years, it has become evident that microplastics are one of the most important contaminants of concern requiring significant attention. The large abundance of microplastics that are currently in the environment poses potential toxicity risks to all organisms that are exposed to them. Microplastics have been found to affect the physiological and biological processes in marine and terrestrial organisms. As well as being a contaminant of concern in itself, microplastics also have the abilit...

Microplastics as vectors for contaminants in the environment is becoming a topic of public interest. Microplastics have been found to actively adsorb heavy metals, per-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and polybrominated diethers (PBDs) onto their surface. Particular interest in microplastics capacity to adsorb antibiotics needs further attention due to the potential role thi...
