How to remove microplastics in wastewater? A cost-effectiveness analysis

Larissa Vuori et al.

Summary: The study finds that removing microplastics from wastewater is technically feasible and cost-effective, with the use of a membrane bioreactor combined with sludge incineration being the most efficient option. This provides a basis for expanding government regulation to include microplastics in wastewater treatment plants, but policy targeting companies using microplastics is necessary to ultimately solve the problem.

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.

Microplastic fibres from synthetic textiles: Environmental degradation and additive chemical content

Shannen T. L. Sait et al.

Summary: This study investigated the environmentally relevant photodegradation of common microplastic fibres (MPFs) such as polyester (PET), polyamide (PA), and polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Results showed that PET and PA MPFs underwent significant fragmentation and surface changes under UV exposure, while PAN did not. Chemical analysis identified monomers, UV stabilisers, and degradation products in MPFs and aqueous leachates. Bisphenols (BPs) and benzophenones (BzPs) were also found in all MPFs, with wool displaying the highest concentration of BPs and BzPs.

Is incineration the terminator of plastics and microplastics?

Zhan Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that a significant amount of microplastics exist in bottom ash generated from incineration, with each metric ton of waste producing a considerable number of microplastic particles. Polypropylene and polystyrene were identified as the predominant types, and microplastics exhibited various forms with abundance influenced by factors such as waste separation, GDP per capita, and furnace types.

Microplastic contamination in a conventional wastewater treatment plant in Thailand

Katekanya Tadsuwan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the microplastic pollution in an urban wastewater treatment plant in Thailand, finding that the major types of MPs in the WWTP were polyester fibres, followed by polypropylene, polyethylene, silicone polymer and polystyrene. The study highlights the potential risk of MPs from dried sewage sludge in agricultural soil.

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.
