Electrochemical degradation of micro/nanoplastics in water: recent results

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed electrochemical oxidation—particularly using boron-doped diamond anodes—as an advanced process capable of degrading micro- and nanoplastics in water with over 90% efficiency under optimized conditions. This technology is important because conventional wastewater treatment plants not only fail to fully remove microplastics but can fragment them into smaller, more bioavailable nanoplastics.

Advances in electrochemical-based treatment of microplastics in wastewater: removal performance and influencing factors

AI summary Read the abstract

This review evaluates five electrochemical technologies—electrocoagulation, electrooxidation, electroreduction, bioelectrochemistry, and electrosorption—for removing microplastics from wastewater, finding each offers high efficiency with controllable operating conditions. Because conventional treatment plants miss much of the microplastic entering waterways, scalable electrochemical solutions are urgently needed to prevent these particles from reaching drinking water and marine ecosystems.

Review on Microplastics as an Emerging Pollutant in Ecosystem and Its Impact: Integrated Approaches of Microplastic Biodegradation

AI summary Read the abstract

This review examines microplastics as a pervasive and slow-degrading pollutant in soils and waterways, exploring biodegradation approaches as a potential solution to break them down. Because microplastics can absorb other toxic chemicals and enter food chains, finding ways to eliminate them from the environment is critical for protecting both ecosystems and human health.

Recent Catalytic Technologies for Microplastics Removal in Water: Current status

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed emerging catalytic technologies for removing microplastics from water bodies, documenting the scale of aquatic microplastic contamination and evaluating which treatment approaches show the most promise for protecting drinking water and aquatic ecosystems from these virtually indestructible pollutants.
