(author)Biofilm detachment contributes to water quality deterioration. However, the contributions of biofilm detachment from different pipes have not been quantified or compared. Following the introduction of partial reverse osmosis (RO) in drinking water production, this study analyzed particles at customers’ ends and tracked their origins to water...journal article 2023

Xu, Yanghui (author), Ou, Q. (author), Wang, Xintu (author), Hou, Feng (author), Li, Peng (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), Liu, G. (author)The level of microplastics (MPs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has been well evaluated by the particle number, while the mass concentration of MPs and especially nanoplastics (NPs) remains unclear. In this study, pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to determine the mass concentrations of MPs and NPs with different...journal article 2023

Xu, Yanghui (author), Ou, Q. (author), Li, Xiaoming (author), Wang, Xintu (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), Liu, Gang (author)The transport and fate of nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic environments are closely associated with their colloidal stability, which is affected by aging and natural organic matter (NOM) adsorption. This study systematically investigated the combined effects of photoaging and NOM (e.g. humic acids, HA; and a model protein, bovine serum albumin, BSA...journal article 2022

Ding, Lei (author), Wanga, Dandan (author), Li, Ling (author), Jia, Yunhan (author), Ma, Jiangya (author), Wang, Feifei (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Natural organic matter in waters varies in different fractions. To better understand the removal of different fractions by a magnetic ion exchange (MIEX) resin and the mechanism behind it, this study investigated adsorption kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamics of humic acid (HA) fractions with different hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties...journal article 2022
