Advances in electrochemical-based treatment of microplastics in wastewater: removal performance and influencing factors
AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluates five electrochemical technologies—electrocoagulation, electrooxidation, electroreduction, bioelectrochemistry, and electrosorption—for removing microplastics from wastewater, finding each offers high efficiency with controllable operating conditions. Because conventional treatment plants miss much of the microplastic entering waterways, scalable electrochemical solutions are urgently needed to prevent these particles from reaching drinking water and marine ecosystems.
Recent Progress in Electrochemical Methods for Microplastics Detection
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed advances in electrochemical sensor technology for detecting microplastics and nanoplastics, highlighting the method's potential as a fast, cost-effective, and field-deployable alternative to conventional laboratory analysis.
Electrochemical degradation of micro/nanoplastics in water: recent results
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed electrochemical oxidation—particularly using boron-doped diamond anodes—as an advanced process capable of degrading micro- and nanoplastics in water with over 90% efficiency under optimized conditions. This technology is important because conventional wastewater treatment plants not only fail to fully remove microplastics but can fragment them into smaller, more bioavailable nanoplastics.
Mechanism and Improvement of Electrocoagulation Technology for Removing Microplastics from Wastewater-Current Status and Future Directions
AI summary Read the abstract
This review analyzed electrocoagulation as a method for removing microplastics from wastewater, finding that hybrid systems combining electrooxidation or membrane filtration achieve over 95% removal efficiency through charge neutralization, sweep flocculation, and oxidative degradation. Efficient wastewater treatment is a critical intervention point for stopping microplastics from reaching aquatic environments and ultimately entering the food chain and drinking water.
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.
