ClearRemoval of microplastics from aqueous media using activated jute stick charcoal
Researchers developed an eco-friendly method for removing microplastics from water using activated charcoal made from jute sticks. The material achieved over 94 percent removal efficiency for PVC microplastics under optimized conditions, driven by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The study introduces a low-cost, sustainable adsorbent that could be practical for water treatment in regions where jute is abundantly available.
