Mechanism and Improvement of Electrocoagulation Technology for Removing Microplastics from Wastewater-Current Status and Future Directions

AI summary Read the abstract

This review analyzed electrocoagulation as a method for removing microplastics from wastewater, finding that hybrid systems combining electrooxidation or membrane filtration achieve over 95% removal efficiency through charge neutralization, sweep flocculation, and oxidative degradation. Efficient wastewater treatment is a critical intervention point for stopping microplastics from reaching aquatic environments and ultimately entering the food chain and drinking water.
