Microplastics and dye removal from textile wastewater using MIL-53 (Fe) metal-organic framework-based ultrafiltration membranes
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed an advanced ultrafiltration membrane using a metal-organic framework material to simultaneously remove microplastics and dyes from textile wastewater. The modified membrane showed improved pollutant rejection rates and better resistance to fouling compared to conventional membranes. The study demonstrates a promising approach for tackling multiple contaminants in one of the most polluting industrial wastewater streams.
Possibilities of removing microplastics from the aquatic environment using membrane processes

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.
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.
Energy-Efficient and Eco-Conscious Elimination of Microplastics and Toxic Contaminants Using 3D MOF Integrated Hollow Fiber Membrane Via Ultrafiltration
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers integrated a 3D metal-organic framework into hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes to simultaneously remove microplastics, dyes, and heavy metals from contaminated water, demonstrating that the MOF-modified membrane achieves high pollutant rejection with lower energy demand than conventional treatment approaches.
Assessing microplastic fate through textile wastewater treatment plants: Stage-specific retention and removal performance
AI summary Read the abstract
Textile factory wastewater is loaded with microplastics (mostly nylon fibers from fabric), and this study found that adding an extra filtering step, called tertiary treatment, removes over 95% of these particles before the water is released, compared to just 72% with standard treatment alone. Since these plants are a major gateway for microplastics into our rivers and oceans (and eventually our food and water supply), upgrading treatment plants with this additional step could meaningfully cut the amount of plastic pollution we're exposed to.
