Microplastics in marine environment: a review on sources, classification, and potential remediation by membrane technology
Magdalena Malankowska, Carlos Echaide‐Górriz, Joaquı́n Coronas
Abstract
Microplastics are pollutants highly stable to complete biodegradation and require more specific separation processes for their removal. Classification and potential remediation technologies, such as membrane technology, are discussed in this review.
