To meet EU CO 2 emission targets, we need to replace most fossil-derived plastics with renewable alternatives. stop endless pollution by accumulating non degradable future be closed-loop recyclable and/or biodegradable.
The purpose of the present study was to determine temperature dependence slow adsorption and desorption kinetics some chlorobenzenes, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic arom...
Persistency of organic chemicals is a key property in their environmental risk assessment. Information on persistency often derived from the results biodegradability screening tests such as ready (RBTs). RBTs are, however, not designed for this purpose and suffer several problems that lead to high variability and, hence, difficulties interpretation. The origin exposure history inocula used testing can highly variable outcomes. Microbial adaptation its impact biodegradation needs further...
It is becoming increasingly clear that the products of incomplete combustion (soot and charcoal, collectively termed black carbon or BC) can be responsible for as much 80 - 90% total sorption to sediments aromatic, planar, hydrophobic compounds such polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons planar polychlorinated biphenyls. In present study, it was investigated whether a nonpolar aliphatic compound (hexachloroethane) three nonplanar bipolar with different functional groups [free electron pairs but no...
Metformin (MET) is a pharmaceutical product mostly biotransformed in the environment to transformation product, guanylurea (GUA). In ready biodegradability tests (RBTs), however, contrasting results have been observed for metformin. The objective of this study was measure biodegradation MET and GUA RBTs, using activated sludge from local wastewater treatment plant, either directly or after pre-exposure MET, chemostat. community cultivated chemostats, presence absence period nine months, used...
To reduce the global CO2 footprint of plastics, bio- and CO2-based feedstock are considered most important design features for plastics. Oxalic acid from isosorbide biomass interesting rigid building blocks high Tg polyesters. The biodegradability a family novel fully renewable (bio- CO2-based) poly(isosorbide-co-diol) oxalate (PISOX-diol) copolyesters was studied. We systematically investigated effects composition on biodegradation at ambient temperature in soil PISOX (co)polyesters....
Perfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) are chemicals with completely fluorinated alkyl chains. The specific properties of the F–C bond give PFAS a high stability and make them very useful in wide range applications. also pose potential risk to environment humans because they have been recently characterized as persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic. objective this work is study bacterial degradation under aerobic anaerobic conditions municipal sewage sludge contribution toward understanding their...
This study shows that the recently published polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) Abraham solvation parameters predict PCB air-n-hexadecane and n-octanol-water partition coefficients very poorly, especially for highly ortho-chlorinated congeners. Therefore, an updated set of was derived from four properties associated equations. Additionally, influence ortho-chlorination on solvent accessible volume surface area investigated. The were tested partitioning between five other phase combinations....
