Summary
Researchers reviewed how membrane bioreactor technology can remove microplastics from wastewater far more effectively than conventional treatment plants, potentially preventing millions of plastic particles per day from being discharged into rivers and oceans.
Study Type
Environmental
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in wastewater has significant impacts on various aspects of the wastewater treatment process. Traditional treatment plants are not equipped to remove MPs, resulting in daily discharge into the environment. Membrane bioreactor (MBR)...
