Microplastic removal by coagulation: a review of optimizing the reaction conditions and mechanisms

Water Emerging Contaminants & Nanoplastics, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 2(4)

Опубликована: Окт. 28, 2023

Coagulation is a widely employed technique for removing suspended particles from water and wastewater, recently, it has gotten attention as popular method the removal of microplastics (MPs). Studies on coagulation-based MPs are still in their infancy, few findings available about this treatment approach, its mechanism, efficiency. Given these gaps, study was designed to comprehensively investigate recent advances via coagulation. The influence various experimental factors such coagulant type, dose coagulant, pH solution, shape critically reviewed. showed that optimizing environmental conditions during coagulation process crucial improving reducing energy costs. efficiency depends optimal reaction conditions, which may vary depending type concentration characteristics or wastewater being treated. Optimizing is, therefore, critical achieving maximum More extensive research required reveal mechanisms controlling floc density pollutants effluent. Consequently, current review aims highlight gaps challenges associated with techniques treatment. Current advancements synthesis chemical modification bio-based coagulants performance could constitute paradigm shift ecosystem protection sustainability. use eco-friendly combining other suggested increase efficacy viability method. This will provide significant insights field researchers, guiding future investigations contributing advancement knowledge.

Innovations and development of sustainable personal protective equipment: a path to a greener future

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS RESEARCH, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Июнь 18, 2024

Abstract The unprecedented surge in the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) worldwide during covid pandemic resulted a significant increase PPE consumption and subsequent waste generation. Despite importance of PPE, its widespread usage disposal have sparked worries about environmental impact long-term sustainability. increasing awareness challenges, resource scarcity, urgent need to mitigate climate change necessitates paradigm shift product design, manufacturing process, management PPE. To address these challenges sustainable future, development degradable polymers natural fibers offers promising alternative traditional plastics. Additionally, recycling upcycling methods can convert into valuable alternate products or energy sources, thereby reducing their impact. Better systems, comprehensive policy frameworks, international collaborations are essential effective promotion practices. collaborative efforts across governments, manufacturers, research institutions, authorities crucial transitioning more industry circular economy, ultimately benefiting both environment society.

Liquidlike, Low‐Friction Polymer Brushes for Microfibre Release Prevention from Textiles

Small, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 20(33)

Опубликована: Март 26, 2024

During synthetic textile washing, rubbing between fibres or against the washing machine, exacerbated by elevated temperature, initiates release of millions microplastic into environment. A general tribological strategy is reported that practically eliminates from laundered apparel. The two-layer fabric finishes combine low-friction, liquidlike polymer brushes with "molecular primers", is, molecules durably bond low-friction layers to surface polyester nylon fabrics. It shown when coefficient friction below a threshold 0.25, fibre substantially reduced, up 96%. can be water-wicking water-repellent, and their comfort properties are retained after coating, indicating tunable practical toward sustainable industry plastic-free oceans marine foodstuffs.
