Microalgae for microplastic removal from water and wastewater: a review

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the potential for microalgae to remove microplastics from water and wastewater, finding that algae can physically aggregate with plastic particles through several mechanisms — offering a potentially low-cost, biological alternative to conventional filtration methods that struggle to capture very small plastic particles.

Algae-microplastics interactions and their significance in combating aquatic plastic pollution

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers review how algae interact with microplastics in aquatic environments, examining both the harmful effects on algae and the potential to harness algal biological properties for eco-friendly microplastic removal, toxicity mitigation, and repurposing of plastic particles.

The influence of static magnetic field on the removal of microplastics by bacterial-algal symbiotic system in simulated seawater

AI summary

Researchers tested a bacterial-algal symbiotic system enhanced by a 150 mT static magnetic field to remove microplastics from simulated seawater, finding that while the magnetic field improved nutrient removal and microbial growth, microplastic accumulation above 1.5 g/L disrupted the community structure and reduced nitrogen removal efficiency to roughly 40%.
