Presence of microplastics in waste streams and the environment is a challenge much recent concern. Bubbles are used for solid–liquid separation froth flotation dissolved air (DAF). Bubble-particle interactions key understanding removal efficiency particulates. Limited studies provide in-situ characterization particle size distribution, shape concentration before after flotation. The use microbu...

The pollution caused by microplastics around the world is an increasingly significant issue that has to be tackled with different methods and technologies. Here, we report a straightforward rapid process combining electrodeposition electrophoresis produce durable superhydrophobic coating on aluminum substrate (UNS A91070) static contact angle (153°), sliding (1°), hysteresis (1°). Field emissio...

Microplastic debris ending up at the sea surface has become a known major environmental issue. However, how microplastic particles move and when they sink in ocean remains largely unknown. Here, we model subject to biofouling (algal growth on substrate) estimate sinking timescales time reach depth where stop sinking. We combine NEMO-MEDUSA 2.0 output, that represents hydrodynamic biological pro...

There is an urgent demand to find effective solution microplastic pollution in water.

Abstract Climate change and plastics pollution are dual threats to marine environments. Here we use biogeochemical microplastic modelling show that even if there is complete removal of microplastics cessation deposition in the oceans 2022, regional recovery from microplastic-induced remineralization water column deoxygenation could take hundreds years for coastal upwelling zones, North Pacific ...

Microplastic pollution in soils is a recent environmental problem and the lack of knowledge about impacts extent are raising questions concerns among researchers politicians. Using normative simulation model, we assess microplastic German agricultural originating from land application sewage sludge compost. We estimate concentration soils, area polluted land, compare efficiency effectiveness so...
