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.

Enhanced removal of microplastics from drinking water using ballasted flocculation: a comparative study with conventional methods using non-intrusive image analysis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers compared conventional flocculation and ballasted flocculation for removing PVC microplastics from drinking water, finding ballasted flocculation achieved 99.6% removal in just 6 seconds of settling time—70 times faster than conventional methods that reached 78–84% removal. Highly effective microplastic removal at the drinking water treatment stage is critical for protecting human health, as microplastics have been detected in treated water supplies globally.
