摘要

Phthalic acid esters(phthalates)have been detected everywhere in the environment,but data on leaching kinetics and the governing mass transfer process into aqueous systems remain largely unknown.In this study,we experimentally determined time-dependent leaching curves for three phthalates di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,di(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate,and diisononyl phthalate from polyvinyl chloride(PVC)microplastics and thereby enabled a better understanding of their leaching kinetics.This is essential for exposure assessment and to predict microplastic-bound environmental concentrations of phthalates.Leaching curves were analyzed using models for intraparticle diffusion(IPD)and aqueous boundary layer diffusion(ABLD).We show that ABLD is the governing diffusion process for the continuous leaching of phthalates because phthalates are very hydrophobic(partitioning coefficients between PVC and water log K_(PVC/w)were higher than 8.6),slowing down the diffusion through the ABL.Also,the diffusion coefficient in the polymer D_(PVC)is relatively high(~8 × 10~(-14)m~2 s~(-1))and thus enhances IPD.Desorption half-lives of the studied PVC microplastics are greater than 500 years but can be strongly influenced by environmental factors.By combining leaching experiments and modeling,our results reveal that PVC microplastics are a long-term source of phthalates in the environment.
