Recent innovations in microplastics and nanoplastics removal by coagulation technique: Implementations, knowledge gaps and prospects
This review evaluates coagulation, a water treatment technique that uses chemicals to clump particles together for easier removal, as a method for eliminating microplastics and nanoplastics from water. Researchers found that coagulation can effectively remove these plastic particles, especially when combined with other treatment steps, but performance varies based on plastic size, shape, and water chemistry. The study identifies key knowledge gaps and recommends further research to optimize coagulation for real-world microplastic removal.
Flow cytometry as a tool for the rapid enumeration of 1-μm microplastics spiked in wastewater and activated sludge after coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation
Researchers used flow cytometry to rapidly count one-micrometer microplastic particles spiked into wastewater and activated sludge after coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation treatment. They found that aluminum salt-based coagulation removed a significant portion of these very small particles, though removal rates varied depending on the water matrix. The study demonstrates that flow cytometry can be a fast and reliable tool for quantifying micro-nanoplastics in complex wastewater samples.
Microplastic removal in coagulation-flocculation: Optimization through chemometric and morphological insights
Researchers optimized the coagulation-flocculation process — a standard water treatment step where chemicals cause particles to clump and settle — for removing three types of microplastics: polypropylene, polyethylene, and polystyrene. Polystyrene was removed most efficiently, and adjusting pH, coagulant type, and dosage significantly improved removal rates, providing practical guidance for upgrading existing water treatment plants to better capture microplastics.

Microplastic removal by coagulation/flocculation: A review and bibliometric analysis
This review of existing research found that a common water treatment method called coagulation (where chemicals help clump particles together so they can be removed) works well at filtering out microplastics from drinking water and wastewater. The treatment is especially good at removing larger microplastic pieces, but struggles with the tiniest ones under 10 micrometers. This matters because microplastics are showing up everywhere in our water supply, and this research suggests we already have proven technology that could help reduce our exposure to these plastic particles.
