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.
