Electro-coagulation technique using iron [Fe] and aluminium [Al] for microplastics removal from fashion industry wastewater, Thailand
Laboratory tests showed that electrocoagulation — running electrical current through iron and aluminum electrodes — can remove microplastics from textile industry wastewater in Thailand with high efficiency. Because conventional wastewater treatment plants were not designed to capture particles as small as microplastics, electrochemical methods like this represent a promising upgrade to reduce the millions of microplastic particles released daily from textile factories.
Environmental aspects of restoring the environment: nanotechnology for removing micro and nanoplastics from water
Researchers developed a plasma chemical water purification method that combines modified humic substances with high-voltage electrical discharge to aggregate and magnetically remove micro- and nanoplastics from contaminated water. Tested on wastewater from a printing facility, the method outperformed conventional sorption or plasma treatment alone and showed promise for simultaneously removing plastics, heavy metals, and organic pollutants. This offers a potentially scalable technology for treating industrial wastewater sources that are currently releasing nanoplastics to the environment.
