As the emerging contaminants, the behavior and fate of microplastics (MPs) were highly related to the interactions with surrounding organic matters. However, information on the effects of molecular sizes of organic matters on the interaction is still lacking. In this study, the bulk algal-derived organic matter (AOM) samples were obtained and further fractionated into high molecular weight (HMW-, 1kDa-0.45 μm) and low molecular weight (LMW-, < 1 kDa) fractions. The interaction between MPs [polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS)] and these MW-fractionated AOMs were characterized by dissolved organic carbon, fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy, and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. Results showed that presence of AOM could effectively inhibit the release of additives from MPs. Further analysis found that the inhibition extents decreased in the order of HMW- > bulk > LMW-AOM. The absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy showed that aromatic protein-like substances in HMW fraction exhibited higher adsorption affinity to MPs than the bulk and LMW counterparts. The strong sorption of aromatic substances may offer more binding sites for additives to inhibit the release of organic substances. Moreover, two dimensional FTIR correlation spectroscopy revealed that the HMW non-aromatic substances were preferentially adsorbed onto PS, which led to an enhanced adsorption capacity to additives by forming H-bonding. Therefore, the MW- and component-dependent heterogeneities of AOM samples must be fully considered in evaluating the environmental behavior of MPs.

在藻源性有机物存在下微塑料中有机物的释放抑制:分子量依赖性抑制异质性的影响

作为新兴污染物,微塑料(MPs)的行为和归宿与与周围有机物的相互作用高度相关。然而,关于有机物分子大小对相互作用的影响的信息仍然缺乏。在本研究中,获得了大量海藻衍生有机物 (AOM) 样品,并进一步分级为高分子量 (HMW-, 1kDa-0.45 μm) 和低分子量 (LMW-, < 1 kDa) 部分。MPs [聚乙烯 (PE) 和聚苯乙烯 (PS)] 与这些 MW 分级 AOM 之间的相互作用通过溶解有机碳、荧光和吸收光谱以及傅里叶变换红外 (FTIR) 分析进行表征。结果表明,AOM 的存在可以有效地抑制添加剂从 MPs 中的释放。进一步分析发现抑制程度依次为HMW->bulk>LMW-AOM。吸光度和荧光光谱表明,HMW 馏分中的芳香族蛋白样物质对 MPs 表现出比本体和 LMW 对应物更高的吸附亲和力。芳香物质的强吸附性可能为添加剂提供更多的结合位点,以抑制有机物质的释放。此外,二维 FTIR 相关光谱表明,HMW 非芳香物质优先吸附在 PS 上,通过形成 H 键导致对添加剂的吸附能力增强。因此,在评估 MP 的环境行为时必须充分考虑 AOM 样品的 MW 和组分依赖性异质性。吸光度和荧光光谱表明,HMW 馏分中的芳香族蛋白样物质对 MPs 表现出比本体和 LMW 对应物更高的吸附亲和力。芳香物质的强吸附性可能为添加剂提供更多的结合位点,以抑制有机物质的释放。此外,二维 FTIR 相关光谱表明,HMW 非芳香物质优先吸附在 PS 上,通过形成 H 键导致对添加剂的吸附能力增强。因此,在评估 MP 的环境行为时必须充分考虑 AOM 样品的 MW 和组分依赖性异质性。吸光度和荧光光谱表明,HMW 馏分中的芳香族蛋白样物质对 MPs 表现出比本体和 LMW 对应物更高的吸附亲和力。芳香物质的强吸附性可能为添加剂提供更多的结合位点,以抑制有机物质的释放。此外,二维 FTIR 相关光谱表明,HMW 非芳香物质优先吸附在 PS 上,通过形成 H 键导致对添加剂的吸附能力增强。因此,在评估 MP 的环境行为时必须充分考虑 AOM 样品的 MW 和组分依赖性异质性。芳香物质的强吸附性可能为添加剂提供更多的结合位点,以抑制有机物质的释放。此外,二维 FTIR 相关光谱表明,HMW 非芳香物质优先吸附在 PS 上,通过形成 H 键导致对添加剂的吸附能力增强。因此,在评估 MP 的环境行为时必须充分考虑 AOM 样品的 MW 和组分依赖性异质性。芳香物质的强吸附性可能为添加剂提供更多的结合位点,以抑制有机物质的释放。此外,二维 FTIR 相关光谱表明,HMW 非芳香物质优先吸附在 PS 上,通过形成 H 键导致对添加剂的吸附能力增强。因此,在评估 MP 的环境行为时必须充分考虑 AOM 样品的 MW 和组分依赖性异质性。
