Degradation-fragmentation of marine plastic waste and their environmental implications: A critical review
Sarra N., Dimassi; Hahladakis, John N.; Yahia, Mohamed Najib Daly; Ahmad, Mohammad I.; Sayadi, Sami; Al-Ghouti, Mohammad A.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2022 , Article Review)This review critically evaluates the plastic accumulation challenges and their environmental (primarily) and human (secondarily) impacts. It also emphasizes on their degradation and fragmentation phenomena under marine ... -
Effect of temperature and sunlight on the leachability potential of BPA and phthalates from plastic litter under marine conditions
Sarra N., Dimassi; Hahladakis, John N.; Yahia, Mohamed Nejib Daly; Ahmad, Mohammad I.; Sayadi, Sami; Al-Ghouti, Mohammad A.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)This study investigates the leaching potential of several additives embedded in six different plastic types when exposed to extreme simulated marine conditions for 140 days. The findings achieved herein contribute to a ... -
Insights into the degradation mechanism of PET and PP under marine conditions using FTIR
Sarra N., Dimassi; Hahladakis, John N.; Yahia, Mohamed Najib Daly; Ahmad, Mohammad I.; Sayadi, Sami; Al-Ghouti, Mohammad A.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Plastics possess diverse functional properties that have made them extremely desirable. However, due to poor waste management practices, large quantities eventually end up in the oceans where their degradation begins. ... -
Synthesis of nanostructured novel ion-imprinted polymer for selective removal of Cu2+ and Sr2+ ions from reverse osmosis concentrated brine
Khan, Mariam; Al- Ghouti, Mohammad A.; Khraisheh, Majeda; Shomar, Basem; Hijji, Yousef; Tong, Yongfeng; Mansour, Said; Nasser, Mustafa Saleh... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)This study aims to prepare an ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) using copper sulfate as a template and potassium persulfate as an initiator to selectively adsorb copper ions (Cu2+) from aqueous solutions and in an attempt to ...
