Recent advancements in the field of functional adsorbents for use in removing microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This review surveys functional adsorbents—including porous carbon materials, organic-inorganic hybrids, and metal oxides—for removing microplastics from wastewater, emphasizing affordability, reusability, and capture efficiency as key advantages. Effective wastewater treatment is a critical control point for preventing microplastics from reaching drinking water, aquatic ecosystems, and ultimately the food chain and human tissues.
Recent advances in microplastics remediation via adsorption and photocatalytic degradation with bio-polymers and functionalized frameworks

Tiny plastic particles are everywhere in our environment, and our bodies, and scientists are working on better ways to clean them up. This review rounds up the latest research on two cleanup approaches: materials that trap microplastics like a sponge, and others that use light to break them down at the molecular level, with the most promising solutions combining eco-friendly materials (like plant fibers) with advanced sponge-like structures to capture and destroy plastic waste more completely. While these technologies are still being refined for real-world, large-scale use, they represent encouraging progress toward reducing our exposure to microplastics through cleaner water and environment.
