Magnetic separation and degradation approaches for effective microplastic removal from aquatic and terrestrial environments
Summary
This review covers methods for removing microplastics from water and soil environments using magnetic separation and degradation technologies. Researchers describe how microplastics can be captured using magnetic particles and then broken down through biodegradation, advanced oxidation, or electrochemical processes. The study highlights these combined approaches as promising strategies for addressing microplastic pollution across both aquatic and land-based ecosystems.
Schematic of microplastic (MP) pollution, removal, and degradation. MPs originate from plastic waste, accumulate in ecosystems, and are removed via magnetic separation or degraded by biodegradation, AOPs, and electrochemical processes for recycling.
