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

Electrified membranes for microplastic fouling mitigation

Ouda M., Banat F., Naddeo V., (Corresponding) Hasan S.

Topic:

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

The excessive use of plastics has created a route for microplastics into our water and wastewater treatment plants. Coupled with the on-going water crises, this creates a threat to fresh water availability as microplastics disrupt the operation of these plants. Microplastics result in severe...Read more

Environmental Effects on the Fate and Co-Transport of Pesticides and Microplastics in Soils Irrigated with Wastewater

Djebbari K., Li B., Shor L., Anagnostou E., (Corresponding) Bagtzoglou A.

Topic:

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

In this paper we report results from a series of kinetics and isotherms experiments under different conditions (salinity, organic carbon, and temperature) that were conducted in order to determine the equilibrium time and the sorption response of typical biodegradable microplastics in comparison to...Read more

Technologies for the Removal of Microplastics from Wastewater: A Short Review

(Corresponding) Corpuz M., Buonerba A., Napodano P., Hasan S., Choo K., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.

Topic:

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

One of the major routes of microplastics (MPs) to the environment is through the wastewater treatment plants’ (WWTPs) discharge to water bodies. Due to their dimensions (< 5mm), MPs tend to be ingested by aquatic species, and eventually, may cause adverse impacts on the environment and to human...Read more
