Microalgae for microplastic removal from water and wastewater: a review

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the potential for microalgae to remove microplastics from water and wastewater, finding that algae can physically aggregate with plastic particles through several mechanisms — offering a potentially low-cost, biological alternative to conventional filtration methods that struggle to capture very small plastic particles.

Bioremediation Strategies for Microplastic Removal in Impacted Aquatic Environments

AI summary Read the abstract

This review examined bioremediation strategies — using microorganisms, algae, and other biological agents — to remove microplastic contamination from urban aquatic environments including drinking water treatment plants. Bioremediation offers a potentially scalable, low-cost pathway to reducing the microplastic load in water systems before plastics reach tap water and human consumers.

Novel Laboratory Experiments for Microplastic Removal from Water

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers developed and tested novel laboratory experiments using advanced oxidative processes to remove microplastics from water, demonstrating that photocatalysis and other reactive oxygen species-based approaches can effectively degrade plastic particles and reduce microplastic concentrations in contaminated water sources.

Microplastic Remediation in Aquatic Environment

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers evaluated biological and physical strategies for removing microplastics from aquatic environments, including enzyme-based degradation and filtration techniques. Developing efficient remediation methods is urgent because microplastics persist and accumulate in water bodies, continuously cycling into food chains and posing long-term risks to ecosystem and human health.
