500 mL of test water was poured into 1 L beaker. Alum and H 2 SO 4 (0.1 N) or NaOH (0.1 N) was inserted to the water when pH adjustment was necessary, and mixed for 5 min at 100 rpm.

Each segment was transferred to a clean 500-mL beaker, oven-dried at 70°C, and subjected to microplastic extraction via density flotation. A total of 150 mL of saturated NaCl solution (density 1.20 ...

Emulsion polymers are widely present in numerous applications such as adhesives, coatings, paints, and cementitious materials. In applications such as construction, they are favored in dry form that ...

Laccase is an oxidase of great industrial interest due to its ability to catalyze oxidation processes of phenols and persistent organic pollutants. However, it is susceptible to denaturation at high ...
