In last 10 years, the interest about presence of microplastics (MPs) in environment has strongly grown. Wastewaters function as a carrier for MPs contamination from source to aquatic environment, so knowledge fate this emerging contaminant wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is priority. This work aims review influent (WW) and effectiveness treatments conventional WWTPs. Moreover, negative impacts on management processes have been also discussed. The focuses possible approaches tackle enhancing Based literature results, despite WWTPs are not designed removal WW, they can effectively remove (up 99 % some references).

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants that constitutes a very serious environmental nuisance and menace to the globe in last decade. The damages from MPs include ecological imbalance of marine environment, flora, fauna these yet be understood African environment. sustainable development goals 14 15 (SDGs #14 #15) seek address challenges combating sustainability terrestrial lives respectively. Understanding pollution dynamics environment is crucial globally particular Africa soon. Hence, it imperative arrest this challenge as swiftly possible before collapse entire biomes. have been detected several matrices; soil, air, aquatic environments, plants, fishes, animals, humans. Their different source routes: ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact contribute an adverse effect (toxicity) all spheres life.

The extensive production and application of plastic in recent decades has resulted the presence microplastics (MPs) different water bodies. Considered as contaminants emerging concern (CECs), MPs are accessible to a wide range organisms can act vectors for transport other persistent organic pollutants. existing technologies remove from wastewaters prevent their intrusion nature, still present several limitations, resulting an urgent need develop novel, fast, cost-effective greener alternatives. In this work, magnetophoretic capture by assembly with magnetic nanoparticles through either electrostatic interactions or molecular forces is investigated. For experimental assessment, were synthesized hydrothermal coprecipitation solvothermal decomposition methods, while polyethylene (PE) microspheres selected model microplastic As noteworthy novelty, thermal particles functionalized amino groups sodium alginate (SA), respectively, modification surface properties enhanced MPs. After preliminary experiments, concentration 1.3 g L-1 contact time 20 min between MPs, operating conditions assess influence functional on performance. variables process was also evaluated, including synthesis method, pH medium, varied 4–8, constituents that may be Results demonstrated types polar make them interact towards attraction forces, considerably enhancing performance bare nanoparticles.

Abstract The remediation of pesticides from the environment is one most important technology nowadays. Herein, magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles and calcium-doped (Ca-doped MgO) were synthesized by co-precipitation method used for degradation thiamethoxam pesticide in aqueous media. Characterization MgO Ca-doped performed XRD, SEM, EDX, FT-IR analysis to verify synthesis variations chemical composition. band gap energy crystalline size found be 4.8 4.7 eV 33 34 nm respectively. was accomplished regarding impact catalyst dosage, contact time, temperature, pH, initial concentration. pH study indicates that depends on maximum (66%) obtained at 5 using nanoparticles. In contrast, (80%) observed 8 employing percentage initially increasing but decreased higher doses catalysts. increased with an increase time while high room temperature a rise. effect concertation increases low concentrations declines concentrations.
