Detection of Microplastics using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy - A first approach

(Corresponding) Sommer C., Schneider L., Nguyen J., Prume J., Lautze K., Koch M.

Topic:

Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies

The worldwide inability to enforce effective plastic guidelines results in an increasing accumulation of microplastics in natural habitats. Since this problem is in need of human intervention, we propose Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) as a new tool to identify microplastics. Our...Read more

On the Fenton oxidation of polystyrene microplastics

(Corresponding) Munoz M., Ortiz D., Nieto-Sandoval J., Romera-Castillo C., de Pedro Z., Casas J.

Topic:

Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies

This work aims at evaluating the fate of polystyrene (PS) microplastics along Fenton oxidation. Experiments were carried out under relatively severe operating conditions (80 ºC) given the high persistence of these solids to oxidation. Slight mass losses (up to 10%) were found after the Fenton...Read more

Nanoplastics mineralization by the intensified photo-Fenton process

(Corresponding) Ortiz D., Munoz M., Carbajo J., M. de Pedro Z., Casas J.

Topic:

Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies

The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic systems has become one of the most challenging environmental issues nowadays. Although advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been widely studied for the treatment of persistent contaminants in water, their...Read more

AKANoah Student Team experience: microplastics analysis technics on the Po River environment

Conteduca F., Francardo C., Paradiso G., (Corresponding) Turdo R., Balestra V., Bellopede R., Comino E.

Topic:

Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies

AKANoah PoliTo is a student team from Politecnico di Torino which aims to design an environmental monitoring strategy for the urban river ecosystem and a plastic waste collection system. Data gathering and analysis are key for monitoring, mitigating, and preventing pollution of such a pivotal...Read more
