Microplastics in various aquatic environments cover a wide range of sizes inclusive of settleable particles and nanoparticles which can be harmful as toxic materials against aquatic species. However, their individual and collective behavior as target materials is not known well. Membrane technology offers great potential to remove various microplastics from water sources. However, membrane fouling is inevitbale phenomena and reduces membrane performances such as permeability and selectivity. Thus, fouling mitigation must be integrated to improvements in the design and operation of membrane systems. This presentation reviews the application of membrane technology to better understand the membrane fouling and rejection behavior of microplastics present in water and wastewaters. |
