AB  - Microplastic (MP) contamination in water has garnered significantly global 
      concerns. The MP removal particularly challenges when the particle size decreases 
      to several microns and other contaminants co-exist. This study used the 
      coagulative colloidal gas aphrons (CCGAs) to simultaneously remove the 
      micron-scale MP particles (~5 microm in diameter) and dissolved organic matter (DOM). 
      Carboxyl-modified poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and unsurface-coated 
      polystyrene (PS) were chosen as target MPs. Over 94% of PS particles and almost 
      100% of color were simultaneously removed with lower CCGA consumption than the 
      scenarios with either contaminant in water. The PMMA removal was not as high as 
      the PS removal since the HA polyanions could compete with the negatively-charged 
      PMMA for CCGAs. High salinity reduced the removal of HA by changing its 
      interfacial behaviors without impacting the MP separation. In river water or 
      influent of wastewater treatment plant, the MP particles were almost completely 
      eliminated whereas the DOM (tyrosine-like or tryptophan-like) was partially 
      removed. The fluorescence quenching titration revealed that CCGAs preferably 
      captured the free DOM and the DOM-coated MP particles through complexation 
      interaction. The study denoted that the CCGA system could be a robust tool for 
      efficiently and synergistically removing micron-scale MPs and DOM from different 
      water matrixes.
