New approach boosts microplastic removal from wastewater
Researchers at RMIT University have developed a new method to remove microplastics from wastewater by using microbubbles and nanobubbles, achieving over 90% removal efficiency. This advancement offers a promising solution for improving water treatment processes and reducing environmental contamination. The technique enhances current filtration methods by increasing the contact area between microplastics and the bubbles, leading to more effective separation. This innovation could contribute to better water quality and support global efforts to manage plastic pollution.
