The omnipresent micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) in urban waters arouse great public
concern. To build a MP/NP-free urban water system, enormous efforts have been made to …

The photoaging mechanisms of various polymers have been explored based on the basic
autoxidation scheme (BAS) before 10 years ago, however current research verified some …

The manifestation of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in wastewater treatment
plants (WWTPs) has become a major challenge owing to their unique characteristics such …

Although the discovery of plastic in the last century has brought enormous benefits to daily
activities, it must be said that its use produces countless environmental problems that are …

Microplastics (MPs) have been frequently detected in effluent wastewater and sludge in
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the discharge and agricultural application of which …

Exoelectrogenic biofilm and the associated microbial electrochemical processes have
recently been intensively studied for water treatment, but their response to and interaction …

Sewage sludge is an important source for microplastics (MPs) entering into environment.
Hydrothermal treatment has been considered a promising method for reducing MPs in …

Lignin, a biological resource with great potential, can be as high as∼ 16% of the total
organics in the waste activated sludge (WAS). This work therefore aims to fill the knowledge …

The ubiquitous micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) in urban waters are priority pollutants due to
their toxic effects on living organisms. Currently, great efforts have been made to realize a …

Modern wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) effectively remove microplastics (MPs) from
wastewater and unsurprisingly concentrate them in sludge. Hence through its beneficial use …
