Summary

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.

Microplastics (MPs) were considered as a problem due to their small size. Previous research has proved that MPs resulted in some negative impacts in a long term for human, biota, ecosystems, and environments including aquatic environment. Electrocoagulation (EC) is a...
