Methods of Separation of Microplastics from Water.

Jordan Journal of Biological Sciences 2019
L. Kulaviak

Summary

This research report describes several microplastic separation methods from water, including density separation, filtration, and other physical techniques relevant to environmental monitoring. The review addresses the critical step of isolating microplastics from aqueous matrices as a prerequisite for identification and quantification.

The research report concerns the important current topic of microplastics occurrence in the environment, namely in waters. It is a little developed subject to understand how the fine particles contaminate our world and affect its various inhabitants. The key step is their effective separation needed for their further treatment. Therefore, several possible separation methods were described.
