Investigation of Microplastic Removal Efficiency of Advanced Wastewater Treatment Methods
Original title: İleri atıksu arıtma metotlarının mikroplastik giderim veriminin incelenmesi
AI summary Read the abstract
This Turkish-language study reviews the microplastic removal efficiency of advanced wastewater treatment methods. Since microplastics are not captured by conventional wastewater treatment, advanced processes are needed to prevent their discharge into receiving water bodies. The review evaluates technologies such as membrane filtration, coagulation, and advanced oxidation for improving microplastic removal.
Antropojenik kaynaklı bir kirletici olan mikroplastikler, kanalizasyon aracılığıyla atıksu arıtma tesislerine geçmekte devamında ise alıcı ortam ile buluşmaktadır. Bu nedenle atıksu arıtma tesisleri, su ortamındaki mikroplastiklerin birincil kaynağı olarak görülmekte ve mevcut tesislerdeki proseslerin arıtma verimlerinin belirlenmesi üzerine çalışmalar gerçekleşmektedir. Ancak mikroplastik tesis tasarım kriterlerinden biri olmadığı için giderim verimleri istenilen seviyelerde olmamakta dolayısıyla alternatif arıtma metotların belirlenmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu kapsamda literatürde ileri atıksu arıtma metotları ile mikroplastik giderim verimliliğinin belirlenmesi üzerine çalışmalar gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bu derlemede de oldukça yeni olan bu çalışmalarda kullanılan arıtma teknolojileri giderim verimleri üzerinden kıyaslanmış ve giderim mekanizmaları hakkında detaylar verilmiştir.
