Remediation of Micro- and Nanoplastics by Membrane Technologies

Membranes, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(3), С. 82 - 82

Опубликована: Март 5, 2025

Micro- and nanoplastics (NPs) cannot be completely removed from water/wastewater in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) drinking water (DWTPs). According to the literature analysis, membrane processes, one of advanced technologies, are most effective promising technologies for removal microplastics (MPs) wastewater. In this article, firstly, properties MPs commonly found their efficiencies briefly reviewed. addition, research on use microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO), bioreactors (MBR) remediation NPs is reviewed, advantages/disadvantages each method discussed. Membrane filtration also compared with other methods used remove MPs. Furthermore, problem fouling by during potential released polymeric structure Finally, based survey, current status gaps identified, recommendations further made.

ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is a growing public health concern, yet its presence in groundwater, critical potable water source, remains underexplored. This study investigates MPs groundwater from open and closed well systems, as sediment samples, the semi‐arid region of Didwana‐Kuchaman, Rajasthan, Northwest India. The MPs, identified using fluorescence microscope, were ubiquitous at all sampling sites, with concentrations ranging 3 to 122 particles/L (average = 35.46 particles/L) abundance 170 1140 particles/kg 505.52 particles/kg). Morphologically, beads/pellets within 20–200 μm size range dominated MP while polyethylene polystyrene dominant polymer types. A significant positive correlation ( r 0.65) between concentration open‐well samples was noted, highest values observed near landfills agricultural areas. Heavy metals (HMs) (ppb) ranked following order: As (396.11) > Mn (280.18) Zn (184.67) Co (71.8) Ni (60.56) Pb (24.24) Cr (1.26). hazard quotient derived for both children adults indicates Co, significantly above acceptable threshold (HQ 1), suggesting considerable contamination risk. Although no HMs SEM–EDX analysis revealed adherence HMs, including Ni, As, Cr, Zn, Mn, Pb, surfaces, potential interactions co‐transport mechanisms. results underscore concerning co‐occurrence raising alarming concerns about synergistic effects. highlights urgent need comprehensive risk assessments mitigation strategies addressing HM resources.
