Adsorption Behavior of Diclofenac on Polystyrene and Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) Microplastics: Influencing Factors and Adsorption Mechanism.

ABSTRACT: To unveil the intricacies surrounding the interaction between microplastics (MPs) and pollutants, diligent investigation is warranted to mitigate the environmental perils they pose. This exposition delves into the sorption behavior and mechanism of diclofenac sodium (DCF), a contaminant, upon two distinct materials: polystyrene (PS) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). Experimental adsorption endeavors solidify the observation that the adsorption capacity of DCF onto the designated MPs amounts to Q_(PBAT) = 9.26 mg g^-1 and Q_(PS) = 9.03 mg g^-1, respectively. An exploration of the factors governing these discrepant adsorption phenomena elucidates the influence of MPs and DCF properties, environmental factors, as w
