Remediation of wastewater polluted with microplastics

Svrha ovog rada je pružiti pregled tehnika i tehnologija koje se trenutno koriste u remedijaciji otpadnih voda onečišćenih mikroplastikom (MP). Mikroplastika, su čestice sitne plastike manje od 5 mm, predstavlja ozbiljan ekološki problem jer može onečišćivati vodne ekosustave i negativno utjecati na živi svijet. U ovom radu dan je pregled biogeokemijskog ciklusa mikroplastike od njenog nastajanja i njenih izvora, metode njene identifikacije i detekcije u otpadnim vodama, tehnike uklanjanja iz otpadnih voda u postrojenjima za obradu otpadnih voda. Istraživanja ukazuju da postrojenja za obradu otpadnih voda imaju važnu ulogu u otpuštanju mikroplastike u okoliš.The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of techniques and technologies currently used in the remediation of wastewater contaminated with microplastics (MPs). Microplastics are tiny plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, they pose a serious ecological problem as they can pollute aquatic ecosystems and have negative impacts on the environment. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the biogeochemical cycle of microplastics, from their formation and sources, methods of identification and detection in wastewater, removal techniques from wastewater in wastewater treatment plants. Research indicates that wastewater treatment plants play a significant role in the release of microplastics into the environment
