Nanoparticle in Removal of Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists found that tiny particles made of nickel can soak up microplastics from water, removing up to 83% of them in lab tests. This matters because microplastics are showing up in our drinking water, food, and even our bodies, and this cheap, eco-friendly method could one day help water treatment plants filter them out before they reach our taps. That said, this is early-stage lab research, so more testing is needed before it becomes a real-world solution.
Mechanically durable anti-bacteria non-fluorinated superhydrophobic sponge for highly efficient and fast microplastic and oil removal
AI summary Read the abstract
A superhydrophobic sponge was engineered to selectively remove microplastics and oil from water, achieving high removal efficiency while also demonstrating antibacterial properties. The material maintained its performance across repeated use cycles, offering a promising approach for practical water treatment applications.
Removal of microplastics or nanoplastics using nameko (Pholiota nameko) mucilage as a flocculant
AI summary
Researchers demonstrated that mucilage from nameko mushrooms (Pholiota nameko), combined with iron(III), can rapidly flocculate and remove up to 98.4% of microplastics and 87.4% of nanoplastics from water within minutes, offering a natural, biodegradable bio-flocculant as a promising approach for microplastic remediation.
