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

THE FATE OF MICROPLASTICS DURING THE ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OF THERMALLY PRETREATED SLUDGE

(Corresponding) Cesaro A., Pirozzi F., Zafirakou A., Alexandraki A.
Topic: 
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in the water environment has raised as an issue of great concern, mainly due to their persistence and potential adverse effects on biota. Municipal wastewater treatment plants have been claimed among the most important point source of MPs. Nevertheless, they act...Read more
