Optimizing Electrocoagulation for Polystyrene Microplastics Removal via Magnetic Separation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested electrocoagulation (EC) with iron electrodes to remove polystyrene microplastics, finding that magnetite formation at intermediate current densities enabled 100% removal from pure water within 5 minutes using magnetic separation, though wastewater achieved only 40–80% removal due to competing non-magnetic iron oxides. This work advances cost-effective, scalable water treatment options for capturing microplastics before they reach aquatic ecosystems.
Microplastics Removal Performance Through Advanced Treatment Technologies: A Mini Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This mini-review assessed advanced treatment technologies for microplastic removal, noting that while conventional wastewater plants achieve high removal rates, significant quantities of microplastics still reach receiving water bodies. Identifying and scaling more effective removal processes is critical because microplastics discharged from treatment plants are a primary route of contamination in drinking water sources and aquatic food chains.
