Adsorption of Polystyrene (PS) Microplastic from Aqueous Solution by Black Tea Magnetic Nanoparticles (BTMNPs): Adsorbability, Mechanism, and Reusability
AI summary Read the abstract
Green-synthesized Black Tea Magnetic Nanoparticles (BTMNPs) removed polystyrene microplastics of three size classes within 15–18 minutes with adsorption capacities up to 745 mg/g, driven by π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions, and retained performance over multiple reuse cycles. A fast, low-cost, magnetically recoverable adsorbent derived from food waste could make microplastic removal from contaminated water practical at larger scales.
Green Synthesis of Magnetic NanoparticlesUsing Black Tea Extract (BTE) to RemovePolyethylene (PE) Microplastics from Water
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers created eco-friendly magnetic nanoparticles using black tea extract and used them to remove polyethylene microplastics from water, achieving 90% removal efficiency within 60 minutes. The nanoparticles work by coating microplastics and allowing them to be pulled out with a magnet, and they can be reused multiple times.
Optimizing Electrocoagulation for Polystyrene Microplastics Removal via Magnetic Separation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers tested electrocoagulation (EC) with iron electrodes to remove polystyrene microplastics, finding that magnetite formation at intermediate current densities enabled 100% removal from pure water within 5 minutes using magnetic separation, though wastewater achieved only 40–80% removal due to competing non-magnetic iron oxides. This work advances cost-effective, scalable water treatment options for capturing microplastics before they reach aquatic ecosystems.
