Plastic litter is widely acknowledged as a global environmental threat, and poor
management and disposal lead to increasing levels in the environment. Of recent concern is …

Hofmeister series (HS), ion specific effect, or lyotropic sequence acts as a pivotal part in a
number of biological and physicochemical phenomena, eg, changing the solubility of …

Nanoplastics (NPs) are one of the most dangerous fractions of plastics because of their
possible eco-toxicological impacts. NP stability and transport are highly influenced by …

Plastic pollution has emerged as a potential threat to drinking water quality. Coagulation and
sedimentation processes are suggested to be an effective way of removing small plastic …

Nanoplastics (NPs) are becoming emerging pollutants of global concern. Understanding the
environmental behavior of NPs is crucial for their environmental and human risk …

Abstract The classical Schulze-Hardy rule suggests that the critical coagulation
concentration (CCC) decreases as the inverse sixth power of the counterion valence. While …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been prepared from mixtures of alkyl ammonium
bromide salts (ethylammonium bromide, propylammonium bromide and butylammonium …

Electrolytes have a wide range of technological applications. Despite the recent
improvements in characterizing and predicting the phase behavior of microemulsion …

Ion specific effects on colloidal stability of titania nanosheets (TNS) were investigated in
aqueous suspensions. The charge of the particles was varied by the pH of the solutions …

Charging and aggregation processes were studied in aqueous dispersions of halloysite
nanotubes (HNTs) in the presence of monovalent inorganic electrolytes and ionic liquid (IL) …
