Enhanced flotation removal of polystyrene nanoplastics by chitosan modification: Performance and mechanism
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers improved removal of polystyrene nanoplastics from water using chitosan-modified air flotation, boosting removal efficiency from 3.1% to 96.7% by exploiting electrostatic attraction, enhanced hydrophobicity, and bridging adsorption to cause nanoplastics to aggregate into large, buoyant flocs.
Mechanistic Study on Surfactant Enhanced Microbubble Flotation for the Removal of Microplastics in Wastewater
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed and tested a microbubble flotation system enhanced with surfactants that achieved high removal efficiency of microplastics from wastewater by exploiting differences in particle surface hydrophobicity and bubble attachment. Because conventional wastewater treatment plants allow significant quantities of microplastics to pass through into receiving waterways, innovative physical separation methods like microbubble flotation are critical for reducing the volume entering aquatic environments and, ultimately, the food supply.
The removal efficiency and mechanism of microplastic enhancement by positive modification dissolved air flotation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers enhanced dissolved air flotation by modifying the process with positively charged surfaces to improve microplastic removal from freshwater, finding that the modified approach significantly outperformed conventional dissolved air flotation across three common polymer types.
Micro-Nanobubble Integrated Dissolved Air Flotation: A High-Efficiency Strategy for Microplastic Mitigation in Wastewater
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers optimized a dissolved air flotation system using combined micro- and nanobubbles and achieved up to 97% removal of polyethylene and polystyrene microplastics from synthetic wastewater, outperforming either bubble size alone by enhancing bubble-particle interactions and promoting hydrophobic floc formation.
