Review of the Application of Attapulgite and Their Colloids
Summary
This review summarizes the properties, preparation, and applications of attapulgite clay colloids in various fields including environmental remediation. Clay-polymer composite materials show promise for adsorbing and removing microplastics from water systems.
This paper provides a systematic summary and organization of the relevant knowledge on the colloids of attapulgite. It aims to comprehensively understand the characteristics, preparation methods, and application areas of conjugated block copolymer colloids. Additionally, it conducts a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the research achievements in the field of conjugated block copolymer colloids. By reviewing a large number of literature sources, the application status, advantages, disadvantages, challenges, and problems of conjugated block copolymer colloids in different fields are explored. This facilitates in-depth thinking and analysis of the potential and development directions of conjugated block copolymer colloids, thereby promoting further research and application in both academia and industry. It also encourages communication and collaboration in related fields, providing guidance and inspiration for future studies. Moreover, this review proposes potential research directions and innovative points to drive further advancements in this field.

A Critical Review of Clay Minerals for Groundwater Protection and Treatment
Not relevant to microplastics — this chapter reviews how clay minerals, particularly montmorillonite, act as natural barriers and adsorbents for groundwater contaminants through cation exchange and filtration, including engineered applications in remediation.
The Enhancement Effect and Mechanism of Natural Clay on the Removal of Polyethylene Microplastics by Electrocoagulation
Adding natural clay minerals — particularly montmorillonite — to an electrocoagulation water treatment process dramatically improved the removal of polyethylene microplastics, achieving 84.4% removal by helping plastic particles clump together into large, dense flocs that settle out of water. This low-cost enhancement (natural clay is cheap and widely available) could make electrocoagulation a more practical and effective technology for removing microplastics from industrial and municipal wastewater.
