Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have developed a novel nanotechnology-based solution for the removal of micro- and nanoplastics from water. Their research is published in the journal Micron.

      Can’t really keep it as a bottle because you need the lipase and the ironoxise molecule

    I wonder if they have an order-of-magnitude estimate of the cost to install/operate a system using this technology in municipal systems. Ideally, we’d have systems to remove microplastics from both municipal water sources and municipal wastewater. Also, does this have to be a standalone step in a separate tank, or can it be included in existing flocculation processes.
