Bio-based electrospun polyamide membrane – sustainable multipurpose filter membranes for microplastic filtration
Summary
Researchers created electrospun membranes from bio-based polyamide that can effectively filter microplastics from both water and air. The study found that these nonwoven membranes also work well for cleaning up oily wastewater. The findings suggest a sustainable, multipurpose filtration solution made from renewable materials.
Electrospun nonwoven membranes from bio-based PA 6.9 can serve as efficient filters for the removal of microplastic from water and air as well as for the remediation of oily wastewater.
