Anaerobic digestion (AD) has emerged as a promising technology for diverting the organic
waste from the landfills along with the production of clean energy. AD is a microbial-driven …

Microplastics (MPs) are introduced to the environment upon the breaking down of the big
plastic wastes into small particles. MPs then enter the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) …

This study aims to understand the influence of wastewater treatment plant discharge on the
microplastic status in the surface seawater of Istanbul. For this purpose, for the first time, the …

Wastewater treatment sludge as a sink of microplastics is also a source of microplastics in
the environment through agricultural biosolids application. Sludge treatment includes an …

Plastics have shaped the world with their profound uses but have become a pervasive and
growing problem for the environment. Fragmented plastics, including mega-, meso-, micro …

Retention of microplastics (MPs) at the third largest wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in
Sweden was investigated. The plant is one of the most modern and advanced of its kind …

During the production and use of citric acid (CA), which is frequently used in food, chemistry,
metallurgy and other related industries, wastewater with high organic load and acidity is …

Plastic is a synthetic, malleable, and durable material that has been used for various
applications since its invention in the late 19th century. During its very long-time degradation …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has emerged as a global concern, and wastewater treatment
plants (WWTPs) are one of the potential sources of MPs in the environment. However, the …

Sludge is one of the primary reservoirs of microplastics (MPs), and the effects of MPs on
subsequent sludge treatment raised attention. Given the entry pathways, MPs would exhibit …
