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.
Microbial Technologies for Degradation of Microplastics in Wastewater
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microbial technologies — including bacterial degradation, fungal breakdown, and enzymatic pathways — capable of fragmenting and mineralizing microplastic polymers in wastewater treatment systems. These biological approaches offer a sustainable, low-cost route to eliminating microplastics before they accumulate in aquatic ecosystems and enter the food chain.
Discussing Sources and Biological-Chemical Remediation Approaches for Microplastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the major sources of microplastic pollution — including untreated plastic waste, single-use agriculture plastics, and everyday consumer products — and evaluated biological and chemical remediation strategies such as microbial degradation, enzyme treatment, and phytoremediation. Understanding these diverse pathways and cleanup approaches is essential for developing scalable, eco-friendly solutions that reduce the accumulation of microplastics in ecosystems and limit human dietary and respiratory exposure.
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.
