Mechanism of nanoplastics capture by jellyfish mucin and its potential as a sustainable water treatment technology
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how jellyfish mucus from Aurelia sp. captures nanoplastics and compared its efficiency to conventional water treatment coagulants. The study found that jellyfish mucin effectively captures polystyrene and acrylic nanoplastics from wastewater treatment plant effluent, suggesting it could serve as a sustainable, bio-based technology for removing nanoplastic contamination from water.
Potential Removal of the Microplastics in Marine Environment by Membrane Technology
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed membrane-based filtration technologies as a potential approach for removing microplastics from marine environments, outlining current limitations in scalability and efficiency and identifying directions for future improvement.
A review on micro and nano plastics removal from aqueous environment through bionanomaterials
AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluates emerging bionanomaterials — including layered double hydroxides, magnetic nano-Fe3O4, carbon-based adsorbents, and electrospun nanofiber membranes — as green remediation tools for removing micro- and nanoplastics from water, with some achieving up to 90% removal efficiency. Developing effective, scalable, and environmentally benign removal technologies is urgent given that conventional water treatment plants are poorly equipped to intercept the smallest plastic particles that pose the greatest risk to human health.
Possibilities of removing microplastics from the aquatic environment using membrane processes
AI summary Read the abstract
Tiny plastic particles are showing up in our drinking water, and this review paper looks at how well water treatment plants can filter them out. The good news: special membrane filtering systems (especially ones that combine filtering with bacteria that break down waste) can remove up to 99.9% of microplastics from wastewater, though scientists still need to solve some practical challenges before these systems can be widely used everywhere. This matters because reducing microplastics in our water supply could help limit our exposure to these particles, whose long-term health effects are still being studied.
Evaluation of polystyrene nanoplastic removal from aquatic environments and antibacterial activity against various harmful bacteria using jellyfish extract
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that immune-response extract from moon jellyfish effectively captured polystyrene nanoplastics from water at removal rates up to nearly 90% and showed antibacterial activity against six harmful pathogens, though concentrations above 0.01 mg/mL may alter aquatic bacterial communities and require careful management.
