Summary
Researchers proposed an electrochemical method for degrading polyethylene and PET microplastics in wastewater using electrogenerated active chlorine species. The study developed a shrinking core-based kinetic model to assess the degradation process, offering a potential new approach for removing microplastics during wastewater treatment.
The electrochemical oxidation of PE and PET microplastics with active chlorine species (ACS) electrogenerated is proposed. The degradation is assessed using a shrinking core-based kinetic model.
