Research of vibroacoustic influence on flotation microplastic
Summary
Researchers tested the effect of vibration on flotation-based removal of microplastic particles from water. They found that applying vibration to the flotation process improved microplastic separation efficiency compared to conventional pneumatic flotation. The study proposes vibration-assisted flotation as an improved water treatment technique for removing microplastics from wastewater.
The paper studies the effect of the vibration on the flotation processes for microplastic particles (polymer particles <5 mm in diameter). In recent years, the world community is facing the problem of water pollution with microplastics, which is a fundamentally new type of the particles in marine environment that has specific hydrodynamic characteristics and impairs the efficiency of existing water treatment processes. In this paper, the authors compared the classical process of pneumatic flotation with the process of pneumatic flotation with vibroacoustic effect and the positive effect of vibration influence on the efficiency of the flotation of water microplastics is shown.
