TL;DR: This work offers a new insight into the impact of MP discharge on environment and may provide an analytical framework for evaluating MP hetero-aggregation and the roles of MPs in the transportation of other contaminants.

TL;DR: The 2D-FTIR-CoS method is found to be able to construct a comprehensive picture about the NOM-TiO2 NPs interaction process and might also be used to probe other complicated interaction processes in natural and engineered environments.

TL;DR: An overview of spectroscopic and microspectroscopic approaches, including UV-vis, fluorescence, infrared, and Raman spectroscopy, for the online detection, identification, visualization, and chemical characterization of membrane fouling is provided, and their main advantages as well as limitations in membrane-fouling research are analyzed as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A new method for probing membranes fouling is developed and the interaction between membrane foulants and its roles in membrane fouling process is demonstrated and the integrated approach developed has a potential to explore other types of interfacial interactions.

TL;DR: Investigation of the interaction process of Pb with humic acid (HA) through integration of synchronous fluorescence and log-transformed UV-vis absorption spectroscopy coupled with spectral slope calculation and two-dimensional correlation analyses finds a superior binding affinity of carboxylic groups in HA over phenolic groups.
