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.
Interfacial interaction-driven rapid capture and on-site analysis of nano- and microplastics enabled by multifunctional magnetic adsorbent
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a copper-doped polydopamine-functionalized magnetic silica adsorbent that captures nano- and microplastics within 3 minutes, and using its laccase-like catalytic activity combined with machine learning analysis, enables rapid on-site detection of diverse plastic particle types even at nanoscale concentrations in real water sources.
Adsorption of Polystyrene (PS) Microplastic from Aqueous Solution by Black Tea Magnetic Nanoparticles (BTMNPs): Adsorbability, Mechanism, and Reusability
AI summary Read the abstract
Green-synthesized Black Tea Magnetic Nanoparticles (BTMNPs) removed polystyrene microplastics of three size classes within 15–18 minutes with adsorption capacities up to 745 mg/g, driven by π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions, and retained performance over multiple reuse cycles. A fast, low-cost, magnetically recoverable adsorbent derived from food waste could make microplastic removal from contaminated water practical at larger scales.
