Summary
This study developed and validated the Bauta sediment separator, a device designed to efficiently extract microplastics from beach sand and sediment samples through flotation and density separation. The device achieved high recovery rates across polymer types and particle sizes, offering a cost-effective alternative to laboratory elutriation.
