The occurrence of nano/microplastics in water and wastewater treatment plants poses a concern for the quality of the treated water. Due to their broad but small size and diverse chemical natures, nano/microplastics may travel easily along water and wastewater treatment processes infiltrating remediation...
In this section, we will delve into a variety of techniques that, while not universally applicable in wastewater plants, have significant potential for the effective removal of microplastics. Various techniques have been studied for the removal of microplastics from water sources; some of those ...
Once in the water, microplastics become nearly impossible to detect and collect. Microplastics have been found in human organs including the brain, tissue, and blood. Estimated 100,000 marine species die annually from plastic consumption or strangling. ...
EmiStop, a project synthesizing industrial water treatment technologies, has shown two ways to deal with microplastics. One is to decompose water into tiny gas bubbles, which can attach to microplastics to help them flow to the surface, the other is to utilize flocculation agent to gather tiny ...
Tap water is one of the most convenient and affordable sources of drinking water, but is it truly safe? While most municipal water supplies in Microplastics in Drinking Water: Understanding the Risks and How to Remove Them Microplastics are becoming an increasingly alarming presence in our environme...
