Removal characteristics of microplastics by Fe-based coagulants during drinking water treatment
AI summary Read the abstract
The removal of polyethylene microplastics from drinking water was tested with Fe-based coagulants under various conditions, finding that traditional coagulation alone achieved below 15% removal, while coagulation combined with ultrafiltration substantially improved performance. The study identifies the limitations of conventional water treatment for microplastic removal and highlights ultrafiltration as a necessary add-on for effective particle reduction.
Understanding and Improving Microplastic Removal during Water Treatment: Impact of Coagulation and Flocculation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers systematically tested coagulation and flocculation for removing microplastics from drinking water, finding that removal efficiency depended strongly on plastic particle size and whether particles had been weathered, with smaller pristine particles being the hardest to remove.
Occurrence and removal of microplastics by advanced and conventional drinking water treatment facilities
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers assessed microplastic occurrence and removal efficiency at drinking water treatment plants using both conventional and advanced treatment processes. Advanced treatment steps such as ultrafiltration and activated carbon significantly improved microplastic removal compared to conventional coagulation and filtration alone.
Coagulation/Flocculation-Ultrafiltration Optimization in Drinking Water Treatment
AI summary Read the abstract
This study optimized coagulation and flocculation conditions prior to ultrafiltration in drinking water treatment to better remove organic matter and reduce membrane fouling. Improved drinking water treatment also enhances the removal of microplastics that would otherwise pass through to treated tap water.
Occurrence and removal of microplastics by advanced and conventional drinking water treatment facilities
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers evaluated the performance of both advanced and conventional drinking water treatment processes for removing microplastics, finding that advanced methods such as ultrafiltration substantially outperform standard coagulation and filtration. Most conventional treatment plants leave a meaningful fraction of microplastics in finished drinking water.
