Study on the Impact and Mechanism of Microplastics on the Coagulation-Coupled Ultrafiltration Process in Seawater Desalination Pretreatment
AI summary Read the abstract
This study systematically analyzed how microplastics interact with and disrupt the coagulation-coupled ultrafiltration process used in seawater desalination pretreatment, identifying fouling mechanisms and performance impacts. As desalination becomes a critical freshwater source globally, understanding and mitigating microplastic interference in treatment processes is essential for producing drinking water free from plastic contamination.
Microplastics Behaviour in Treated Waters by Real Biological Nutrient Removal Systems
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that biological nutrient removal systems used in wastewater treatment can remove more than 95% of microplastics, but the final settling tank releases some particles back into treated water due to their low density. Adding a filtration step at the end of treatment could help prevent these remaining microplastics from entering waterways.
