Removal of microplastics from water by using magnetic sedimentation
AI summary Read the abstract
"Researchers demonstrated that magnetic Fe-C-NH2 nanoparticles added to water can attach to polyethylene and PET microplastics, forming heteroaggregates that are then removed by a gradient magnetic field, achieving effective extraction of both plastic types from model aqueous suspensions. This green magnetic sedimentation approach offers a scalable, chemical-free pathway for removing microplastics from drinking water or wastewater effluent, with direct implications for reducing human ingestion of plastic particles."
Removal of Microplastics from Water by Using Agro-Waste Biochar
AI summary Read the abstract
This study investigated agricultural waste-derived biochar as a low-cost adsorbent for removing microplastics from water and wastewater, evaluating its effectiveness as an emerging treatment approach. Biochar offers a sustainable, circular-economy solution for microplastic removal by converting agricultural residues into functional treatment materials, potentially reducing costs compared to conventional engineered sorbents.
Removal of Emerging Contaminants Microplastics by Using Biochar Technology, a Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluated biochar technology as a method for removing microplastics from environmental matrices, assessing its adsorption capacity, mechanisms, and scalability as a remediation tool. Given that microplastics are toxic, persistent, and resistant to conventional treatment, biochar offers a promising low-cost intervention to reduce contamination in water and soil before particles enter the food chain.
