Summary
This study developed a method to remove microsphere microplastics from wastewater using spirulina microalgae as a hetero-coagulation agent, achieving effective particle capture through natural aggregation. The recovered microplastic-algae composite was also tested as a flame retardant additive material.
Study Type
Environmental
There is an urgent demand to find an effective solution to microplastic pollution in water.
