2025
Alekhya Pasumarthy, Dhruv Tadikonda, Sumitra Salla

Summary

Researchers review the use of bioflocculants in wastewater treatment to remove microplastics, examining current technologies and their effectiveness, and identifying the small size and chemical complexity of microplastics as key challenges while pointing to bioflocculant-based approaches as a promising path forward for protecting aquatic ecosystems.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastic contamination is a major environmental problem due to the grave risks it poses to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Wastewater treatment plants are crucial as they keep microplastics out of water bodies. However, due to the small size and complicated...
