Invisible threats, visible Solutions
Objectives
- To develop and test an alternative method for removing microplastics (polypropylene and polystyrene) from water using ferrofluids and electromagnetic separation.
- To design a model of an advanced water treatment plant that incorporates a dedicated microplastic removal stage.
- To develop students’ experimental, analytical, and engineering design skills.
- To raise awareness about microplastic pollution and promote innovative approaches to water purification.
