RESEARCH GOALS
The project objectives are to
• Assess nano-plastic removal from water using conventional
coagulation/flocculation processes to understand the gaps in the
process (see Figure 2).
• Explore different types of coagulation aids, combining them with
commercial coagulants and assessing their efficiency for nanoplastic removal.
• Explore the development of eco-friendly polyelectrolytes as
coagulation aids aimed at nano-plastics.
• Larger-scale testing of the developed enhanced coagulation
process
