Remediation Technologies for Microplastics in Aquatic Environments

examines up-to-date technological innovations and their applications for the mitigation of Microplastics Pollution (MP). With a strong focus on the governing factors influencing the performance of remediation techniques (encircling microplastic characteristics, reactor design, and process parameters), this comprehensive guide presents necessary information on current remediation technologies designed for the removal of MPs from water bodies and comprehensively addresses the fate and impact of microplastics in the environment. The book is divided into three sections: 1. Microplastic pollution, sources, regulation, and analysis, 2. Microplastic Mitigation Technologies and Applications, and 3. Microplastic environmental impacts, toxicology, and risk. The meticulous use of detailed case studies, the diverse list of experts in the field, and the clear structure of the book, equip the reader with tools for implementing sustainable and effective solutions crucial for the treatment of water and contaminated wastewater, making this book a valuable resource for students and researchers learning about successful strategies for microplastics removal.
