Synergistic Sustainable Strategies for Microplastic Pollution Eradication by Hedgehog − Shaped Polyoxometalate − Ionic Liquids Supported Magnetic Biochar

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers engineered two magnetic biochar adsorbents incorporating hedgehog-shaped polyoxometalate ionic liquids that achieved 100% removal efficiency for microplastics ranging from 1–12.5 µm from both industrial and laboratory wastewater, remaining stable across five reuse cycles. This highly efficient, magnetically separable material offers a scalable approach to removing microplastics from wastewater effluent before they enter waterways and the broader environment.
