Analysis and Quantification of Microplastics and Effect of Catalyst on Sludge

Springer proceedings in physics 2024
A. Srinisha, K. Kalaivani

Summary

Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in sludge and examined how catalysts affect microplastic behavior and degradation, finding that these particles — smaller than 5mm and invisible to the naked eye — accumulate in sludge and require targeted interventions to reduce their persistence in wastewater treatment systems.

Microplastics are usually smaller size particles of size 5 mm or less, and these particles are not visible to the naked eye. In recent times, microplastics have emerged as a major issue for humans and the environment. The microparticles enter into the food chain and...
