Study on the Impact and Mechanism of Microplastics on the Coagulation-Coupled Ultrafiltration Process in Seawater Desalination Pretreatment
AI summary Read the abstract
This study systematically analyzed how microplastics interact with and disrupt the coagulation-coupled ultrafiltration process used in seawater desalination pretreatment, identifying fouling mechanisms and performance impacts. As desalination becomes a critical freshwater source globally, understanding and mitigating microplastic interference in treatment processes is essential for producing drinking water free from plastic contamination.
Microplastics (MPs) are recognized as an emerging marine pollutant that poses a challenge to the feed water of desalination plant, but their impact on the desalination pretreatment process remains unclear. In this paper, we systematically analyzed the interaction of...
