Removal of microplastics from industrial wastewater utilizing an ultrafiltration composite membrane rGO/PAN application
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists created a new type of filter, made from a special material combined with graphene, that can capture microplastic particles from factory wastewater in a single step. This matters because it's a simpler, reusable way to keep tiny plastic bits out of water systems, which could help reduce the microplastics that eventually end up in our environment, food, and drinking water.
Feasibility of rapid gravity filtration and membrane ultrafiltration for the removal of microplastics and microlitter in sewage and wastewater from plastic industry
