Efficient removal of microplastics from wastewater by an electrocoagulation process

Maocai Shen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the removal performance, mechanism, and influencing factors of microplastics in wastewater treatment by electrocoagulation (EC). It was found that aluminum anode EC is an effective method to remove microplastics with a removal rate above 80%. The efficiency of microplastic removal by EC is influenced by electrolyte concentration and applied voltage density, with flocculation and charge neutralization occurring simultaneously during the process.

Microbial Degradation of Plastics and Approaches to Make It More Efficient

I. B. Kotova et al.

Summary: The growing production of synthetic plastics worldwide leads to increased plastic pollution, and research has shown that microbial degradation of plastics is slow but possible. Most studies focus on microbial degradation of polyethylene, polystyrene, and PET, with the most efficient process currently being the PET degradation by recombinant hydrolases from thermophilic actinobacteria. Various methods to accelerate microbial plastic degradation are also discussed.

Evidence of microplastics in wetlands: Extraction and quantification in Freshwater and coastal ecosystems

Rakesh Kumar et al.

Summary: Microplastics are emerging non-degradable pollutants that impact humans and wildlife, especially aquatic species. Common shapes of microplastics observed in wetland ecosystems include fibers, fragments, filaments, foams, and microbeads. Research has identified high abundance of microplastics in wetlands and discussed advancements in extraction, characterization, and quantification techniques.
