Abstract
Microplastics are commonly recognized as environmental and biotic contaminants. The prevalent presence of microplastics in aquatic settings raises concerns about plastic pollution. Therefore, it is critical to develop methods that can eliminate these microplastics with low cost and high effectiveness. This review concisely provides an overview of various methods and technologies for removing microplastics from wastewater and marine environments. Dynamic membranes and membrane bioreactors are effective in removing microplastics from wastewater. Chemical methods such as coagulation and sedimentation, electrocoagulation, and sol-gel reactions can also be used for microplastic removal. Biological methods such as the use of microorganisms and fungi are also effective for microplastic degradation. Advanced filtration technologies like a combination of membrane bioreactor and activated sludge method show high microplastic removal efficiency.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1990, the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems (IJHSES) has served graduate students and those in R&D, managerial and marketing positions by giving state-of-the-art data, and the latest research trends. Its main charter is to promote engineering education by advancing interdisciplinary science between electronics and systems and to explore high speed technology in photonics and electronics. IJHSES, a quarterly journal, continues to feature a broad coverage of topics relating to high speed or high performance devices, circuits and systems.
