Summary

This study tested electrocoagulation — an electrical water treatment process — for removing PET microplastics from synthetic wastewater, finding it to be an effective removal method. Electrocoagulation could offer a practical wastewater treatment upgrade to prevent microplastics from being released into rivers and drinking water sources.
