Resumo: | |||||||||||||
Planetary Boundaries were defined to aid in understanding the impacts
of human activities on the planet. The newly quantified boundary of New
Entities has already drastically exceeded its limit, with plastics being one of the
major contributors. Full Multi is a multi-medium model based on mass balance
that calculates the fate and accumulation of microplastics and nanoplastics
along a water body. However, some of the processes in the model have
simplified equations. This study reviewed the sedimentation and ascent models,
incorporating Reynolds number (Re), drag coefficient (Cd), and sphericity, and
compared the results of both models under various scenarios to identify ways to
optimize this type of study. The results showed a lower sedimentation/ascent
velocity in the proposed model compared to the original. Among the simulated
scenarios, the greatest difference was observed with changes in particle type.
Variations in the medium only influenced cases where the polymer density was
between the densities of the two different mediums. Variations in Re did not
show significant impact, likely due to the large difference between the values
used in the simulations (0.1 and 10,000) and those calculated by the model
itself (10e-19).
