Transformation of polyester fibre microplastics by sulfate based advanced oxidation processes
Researchers investigated how sulfate-based advanced oxidation processes break down polyester microplastic fibers using light, heat, and ultrasound activation of persulfate.

The study highlights the importance of understanding how wastewater treatment processes may transform rather than fully eliminate microplastics.
Engineered biochar-metal oxide nanocomposites for targeted dye remediation in textile wastewater
**TLDR:** This research review summarizes new materials that could better clean cancer-causing dyes from clothing factory wastewater before it reaches our drinking water sources. While lab tests show these materials can remove over 95% of harmful dyes, they don't work as well in real-world conditions with dirty industrial wastewater. Better water treatment is crucial since textile factories dump 280,000 tons of toxic dyes into waterways each year, threatening both wildlife and human health.
