Microalgae for microplastic removal from water and wastewater: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the potential for microalgae to remove microplastics from water and wastewater, finding that algae can physically aggregate with plastic particles through several mechanisms — offering a potentially low-cost, biological alternative to conventional filtration methods that struggle to capture very small plastic particles.
Algal-based Degradation of Microplastic: Prospects for Combating Microplastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the potential of microalgae to break down microplastics, exploring how these tiny aquatic organisms could offer a natural, low-cost solution to combat the growing problem of plastic pollution in freshwater and ocean environments.
A review on micro and nano plastics removal from aqueous environment through bionanomaterials
AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluates emerging bionanomaterials — including layered double hydroxides, magnetic nano-Fe3O4, carbon-based adsorbents, and electrospun nanofiber membranes — as green remediation tools for removing micro- and nanoplastics from water, with some achieving up to 90% removal efficiency. Developing effective, scalable, and environmentally benign removal technologies is urgent given that conventional water treatment plants are poorly equipped to intercept the smallest plastic particles that pose the greatest risk to human health.
The influence of static magnetic field on the removal of microplastics by bacterial-algal symbiotic system in simulated seawater
AI summary
Researchers tested a bacterial-algal symbiotic system enhanced by a 150 mT static magnetic field to remove microplastics from simulated seawater, finding that while the magnetic field improved nutrient removal and microbial growth, microplastic accumulation above 1.5 g/L disrupted the community structure and reduced nitrogen removal efficiency to roughly 40%.
