Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive across ecosystems, likely posing significant environmental and health risks based on more evidence. In this study, we searched through the Web of Science Core Collection obtained 1039 papers for visualization analysis. order to discuss chemical composition, migration, transformation potential risk MPs, 135 sets relevant data in soil, water, atmosphere were collected China as a typical region, which is hotspot region investigation MPs. The results showed that primary polymer categories MPs environment be polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene. soil contains quantity averaging at 12,107.42 items·kg

Biomass-to-biofuel conversion represents a critical component of the global transition to renewable energy. One most accessible types biomass is sewage sludge (SS). This by-product from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contains microplastics (MPs) originating household, industrial and urban runoff sources. Due their small size (<5 mm) persistence, MPs present challenge when they are removed systems, where mainly accumulate (~90%). The presence in SS poses environmental risks biosolids applied as fertilizer agriculture or incinerated for purpose energy production. key problem efficient reliable identification reduction due lack standardized procedures. methods might involve physical, chemical, biological, hydrothermal approaches, including carbonization (HTC). HTC produces hydrochar (HC), solid biofuel, presents cutting-edge approach that simultaneously addresses secondary microplastic pollution biomass-derived In this article, we review briefly content different countries, promising method removal SS. conclusion, (i) effectively reduces abundance biosolids, (ii) an improved source energy, (iii) contributes circular management.
