Article Abstract
The prevalence of plastics in the oceans has significantly intensified microplastic pollution, contributing to broader marine secondary pollution issues. This paper examines how plastic structure affects the aging characteristics of plastics and the release of metal ions, to better understand this secondary source of marine pollution. This study simulate the photoaging of plastics in natural environments, focusing on aliphatic and aromatic polymers. The results showed that the photodegradation degree was higher for aliphatic than aromatic polymers. All polymers contained thirteen detectable metals, with their release increasing over time due to photoaging, The release dynamics of these metal ions correlated more strongly with the level of polymer degradation rather than with the polymer structure itself, adhering to a second-order kinetic model driven by surface and intraparticle diffusion processes. The results will help control and treat marine plastic pollution.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a key role in grassland carbon biogeochemistry and shows sensitivity to global climate change, particularly nitrogen (N) deposition. We investigated the soil DOM molecular composition by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and FT-ICR MS through a N addition experiment (CK, N5, N10, N20, and N40 [0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 g N m-2 year-1, respectively]) in a desert steppe of northwest China. Moderate N inputs (N5-N20) caused a dose-dependent increase in DOM content (9.

We report herein the first reductive alkylation/aldol reaction via dual nickel/photoredox catalysis. This catalytic strategy completes the traditional approaches that require the performance of reactive organometallic reagents. By the simple assembly of unactivated alkyl halides, α,β-unsaturated carbonyls, and aldehydes in one-pot reaction, a variety of synthetically valuable β-hydroxyl carbonyl compounds can be synthesized under mild conditions with moderate to good yields.

The occurrence of various toxic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in disinfected municipal effluents worldwide poses threats to aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic plants are highly effective in water purification; however, the removal of toxic DBPs by aquatic plants and the associated influencing factors remain unclear. In this study, the removal profiles of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and toxic DBPs from two municipal effluents were systematically investigated using an aquatic plant Hydrocotyle vulgaris L.

Furfural (FF), an intermediate aldehyde compound, can serve as an indicator of the extent of the Maillard reaction on heat-induced food processing and storage, as well as for the aging assessment of the solid insulation of oil-immersed transformers because it is formed by the degradation of cellulosic insulation. By considering the concepts of green analytical chemistry, a new furfural-bis-(4-aminophenyl) disulfide (APDS) colorimetric chemosensory assay, based on the Stenhouse reaction between furfural and APDS, was developed for the quantification of furfural by utilizing UV spectroscopy and colorimetric analyses. A strong correlation between UV-vis absorbance and furfural concentrations was observed, which confirmed the high sensitivity (0.
