When technology meets sustainability – microplastic removal from industrial wastewater including impact analysis and life cycle assessment
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a novel pilot plant for removing microplastics and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from industrial plastics processing wastewater in Germany, using the Wasser 3.0 PE-X approach based on physical agglomeration and organosilane-based chemical fixation. The study evaluated the environmental sustainability of implementing this microplastic removal technology in an industrial wastewater context.
