Functionalized natural fibre composite filter for the removal of microplastics and heavy metal ions from water
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a biodegradable water filter from chitosan-functionalized coir fiber and pith that effectively removed microplastics alongside heavy metals (lead, cadmium, chromium) and organic carbon from water. This low-cost, natural-material filtration approach offers a promising point-of-use solution for microplastic removal from drinking water, particularly relevant for communities lacking advanced water treatment infrastructure.
A review on micro and nano plastics removal from aqueous environment through bionanomaterials
AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluates emerging bionanomaterials — including layered double hydroxides, magnetic nano-Fe3O4, carbon-based adsorbents, and electrospun nanofiber membranes — as green remediation tools for removing micro- and nanoplastics from water, with some achieving up to 90% removal efficiency. Developing effective, scalable, and environmentally benign removal technologies is urgent given that conventional water treatment plants are poorly equipped to intercept the smallest plastic particles that pose the greatest risk to human health.
