Nanoplastics (NPs) inevitably interact with iron minerals (IMs) after being released into aquatic environments, changing their transport and fate. In this study, batch heteroaggregation kinetics of four types of NPs, i.e., polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS-Bare), amino-polystyrene (PS-NH2), and carboxyl-polystyrene (PS-COOH), with two different IMs (hematite and magnetite) were conducted. We found that the heteroaggregation of NPs and IMs and the associated interfacial interaction mechanisms are both NPs-dependent and IMs-dependent. Specifically, the NPs had stronger heteroaggregation with hematite than magnetite; the heteroaggregation order of two IMs with NPs was PMMA >PS-NH2 > PS-Bare > PS-COOH. Moreover, hydrogen bond, complexation, hydrophobic, cation-π, and electrostatic interaction were involved in the interfacial reaction between NPs and hematite, and electrons were transferred from the NPs to the hematite, causing the reduction of Fe3+ into Fe2+. Furthermore, we first revealed that both pre-homoaggregation of NPs and IMs could affect their subsequent heteroaggregation, and the homoaggregates of IMs could be interrupted by PMMA or PS-COOH NPs introduction. Therefore, the emerging NPs pollution is likely to generate an ecological effect in terms of elemental cycles such as iron cycle. This work provides new insights into assessing the environmental transfer and ecological effects of NPs in aquatic environments. Environmental ImplicationNanoplastics (NPs) are kinds of emerging contaminants. There are various NPs in the environment, and they will inevitably interact with natural iron minerals (IMs) after entering the water environment, affecting their environmental fate and risks. Herein, the aggregation kinetics experiments of different types of NPs and IMs were carried out, and the interfacial reactions and mechanisms were investigated using XPS and 2D-COS analysis. This work first revealed the effect of pre-homoaggregation of NPs or IMs on their heteroaggregation, providing new insights into the environmental behavior of emerged NPs and their ecological effects on iron cycle in natural aquatic environments.
