Summary
This study developed and tested an improved elutriation system for extracting microplastics from sediment samples, using numerical modeling to optimize the column design and extraction protocol. The result is a more efficient tool for isolating microplastics in environmental research that can help improve consistency across studies.
Elutriation is an efficient process for extracting microplastics. The development of a numerical model has shown the need for optimizing aspects of the design of the actual elutriation protocol as well as the dimensioning of the column to increase its efficiency. The study aims to propose new dimensioning data and protocol elements for designing an efficient column. Using a numerical model, the filling velocity was calculated as a function of the size and the density of the particles to prevent sand suspension. The sieving protocol was adapted to increase the density limit for the extraction of plastic particles from 1460 to >1800 kg·m. The durations of the elutriation and the column height were calculated to improve the control of the particle suspension. These results contribute to the development of the next generation of elutriation system and will accelerate the study of plasticome in the context of sandy sediments.
