Recent advances on microplastics pollution and removal from wastewater systems: A critical review
This review summarizes the latest research on microplastic detection, occurrence, and removal in wastewater treatment plants. While treatment plants can remove 57-99% of microplastics depending on the stage, significant amounts still escape into the environment through treated water and sludge. The findings highlight the need for advanced treatment methods to prevent microplastics from reaching waterways and ultimately human water supplies.
Removal of microplastics in water: Technology progress and green strategies
Researchers reviewed existing technologies for removing microplastics from water, including filtration, magnetic separation, chemical coagulation, and biodegradation. Each method has significant trade-offs — filtration is costly, chemical approaches risk secondary pollution, and biological methods are slow — pointing to the need for integrated, environmentally friendly strategies that combine multiple approaches.
Microplastics in water: types, detection, and removal strategies
This review covers the different types of microplastics found in water, methods used to detect them, and strategies for removing them from water sources. Microplastics enter water systems from both industrial sources and the breakdown of larger plastic waste, posing threats to aquatic life and potentially human health. The authors evaluate removal techniques including filtration, chemical treatment, and biological approaches that could help clean contaminated water.
Occurrence and Control of Microplastics and Emerging Technological Solutions for Their Removal in Freshwaters: A Comprehensive Review
This review examines the occurrence of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems and evaluates current and emerging technologies for their removal, including advanced filtration, biodegradable plastic alternatives, and plastic-to-fuel conversion. Researchers found that the complete removal of microplastics remains an unsolved challenge, complicated by inconsistent detection methods across studies. The study emphasizes the urgent need for standardized measurement techniques and coordinated global strategies to address freshwater microplastic pollution.
Microplastics in aquatic systems: An in-depth review of current and potential water treatment processes
This review provides a detailed examination of microplastic contamination in aquatic systems and evaluates current and emerging water treatment technologies for their removal. Researchers assessed methods ranging from conventional coagulation and filtration to advanced techniques like membrane bioreactors and electrochemical processes. The study concludes that while no single technology fully eliminates microplastics, combining multiple treatment approaches offers the most promising path forward.
Review and future outlook for the removal of microplastics by physical, biological and chemical methods in water bodies and wastewaters
This review compares physical, biological, and chemical methods for removing microplastics from water and wastewater, including newer approaches like advanced membranes, bacterial degradation, and electrochemical treatment. Each method has trade-offs between removal efficiency, cost, and environmental impact, and no single technique currently solves the problem completely. The review emphasizes that developing effective microplastic removal technology is urgent for protecting both ecosystems and human drinking water supplies.
A Study on the Potential Microplastic Removal in Water
