Evaluation of Membrane Fouling by Microplastic Particles in Tertiary Wastewater Treatment Processes
Abstract
Microplastic (MP) pollution in aquatic environments poses substantial ecological, human, and economic threats. A common route of entry for MPs into the aquatic environment is through the effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Although membrane technologies as a tertiary treatment step have shown promise in mitigating the efflux of MPs, little is known about how MPs suspended in wastewater effluent affect membrane performance. One …
