Summary

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.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics, which are on the agenda of the scientific world due to their adverse effects on living organisms, are reported to be removed with high removal efficiencies in conventional wastewater treatment plants. However, high amounts of microplastics reach the...
