A review of the removal of microplastics in global wastewater treatment plants: Characteristics and mechanisms

Weiyi Liu et al.

Summary: This study reviewed the abundance and removal of microplastics in 38 wastewater treatment plants worldwide and found different characteristics of microplastics in different treatment technologies. The research revealed that filter-based treatment technologies showed the best removal efficiency for microplastics, and different types and sizes of microplastics were removed in different ways in various treatment processes.

Effect of emerging pollutant fluoxetine on the excess sludge anaerobic digestion

Jianwei Zhao et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the impact of fluoxetine (FLX) on excess sludge (ES) anaerobic digestion is dose-dependent, with higher concentrations of FLX inhibiting methane production from ES digestion. Mechanistically, the presence of FLX was found to inhibit key enzyme activity in the hydrolysis, acidification, and methanogenesis processes.

Performance evaluation and microbial community analysis of microaerobic pretreatment on thermophilic dry anaerobic digestion

Feng Zhen et al.

Summary: The study showed that micmaembic pretreatment (MP) can improve the stability and biogas production performance of thermophilic dry anaerobic digestion (AD). Proper MP enhanced methane production, reduced environmental risks, promoted substrate hydrolysis and improved AD performance by accelerating the growth of hydrogenotrophic methanogens.

A review on the characteristics of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants: A source for toxic chemicals

Amir Hossein Hamidian et al.

Summary: Wastewater treatment plants are a significant source of microplastics discharged into the environment, with their characteristics in different environmental matrices still largely unknown. Most microplastics in water samples are composed of PET, PS, PP, and PE, with a significant proportion being removed during primary and secondary treatment stages, and MBR being the most efficient tertiary treatment technology. The majority of microplastics removed during wastewater treatment end up in sewage sludge and are released into the environment via sludge applications.
