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.

Metal-Organic framework-based Wood Aerogel for Effective Removal of Micro/Nano plastics

AI summary Read the abstract

A zinc metal-organic framework composite grown on wood aerogel fibers (ZIF-8@Aerogel) achieved removal efficiencies of 91.4% for PVDF nanoplastics and 85.8% for polystyrene nanoplastics from simulated water and seawater. This durable, high-performance material offers a promising route for capturing nano- and microplastic particles that conventional water treatment processes cannot effectively remove.
