Identification and removal of microplastics from contaminated semi-urban agricultural soil using electrochemical treatment technology
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested electrochemical coagulation as a treatment technology for removing microplastics from agricultural rainfall runoff, achieving 98% removal efficiency for low-density polyethylene microplastics within 45 minutes while also reducing chemical oxygen demand and dissolved solids. This high-efficiency electrochemical approach offers a practical on-site intervention for preventing microplastics from mulch-contaminated farmland runoff from reaching drinking water sources and broader aquatic ecosystems.
Removal of Microplastic Pollutant in Surface Water Using Electrocoagulation Process with Fe Electrode
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers evaluated electrocoagulation using iron electrodes as a method for removing microplastics from surface water, testing how electrical coagulation forces microplastic particles to aggregate and separate from the water column, offering a scalable treatment approach with minimal chemical inputs.
Soil Remediation Under Microplastics Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
While microplastic research has focused heavily on marine environments, agricultural soils are also significantly contaminated, with plastics accumulating from irrigation water, sewage sludge application, and plastic mulch films. Soil remediation strategies for microplastic pollution are urgently needed given that contaminated farmland can transfer particles directly into food crops and groundwater.
Soil Remediation Under Microplastics Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed growing evidence that microplastic pollution in agricultural soils is a serious and underappreciated problem, noting that most research has focused on oceans while farmland contamination — which directly affects the food supply — has received far less attention.
Degradation and remediation of microplastics in soil.
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed current approaches to degrading and remediating microplastics in soil, examining both biological and physicochemical strategies for reducing persistent plastic particle accumulation in terrestrial environments.
