A promising method for the degradation of nanoplastics in water


 

Researchers at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) have developed a process based on the photo-Fenton method that allows the efficient degradation of polystyrene nanoplastics in water. This advance could be key in the fight against plastic pollution, especially in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP).


A team of environmentalists, chemists and chemical engineers from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) and the National University of Mar del Plata (Argentina) has investigated the application of the photo-Fenton treatment method to degrade polystyrene nanoplastics in water.


This method combines a light source (UV-Vis radiation) with low concentrations of iron (as a homogeneous catalyst) to activate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly oxidizing species. These species can degrade various persistent pollutants into harmless molecules, such as carbon dioxide and water, operating under ambient conditions.


The results, published in the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, reveal that the photo-Fenton process achieves complete and rapid degradation of polystyrene nanoplastics in water, significantly exceeding the removal levels of other photocatalytic processes mentioned in previous studies. 


In addition, this treatment can be adapted to higher concentrations of nanoplastics and larger particles, adjusting the dose of reagents and prolonging the treatment time.


Based on these findings, the photo-Fenton process has a high potential as a purification step (tertiary treatment) in WWTP facilities. "This method could be combined with traditional separation processes, such as membrane filtration, to improve the degradation of plastic contaminants, reducing their dispersion and impact, and ensuring the production of high-quality reclaimed water," the authors state.


The study was carried out by Jorge Garcia, David Ortiz, Carla di Luca, Macarena Munoz, Jaime Carbajo, Zahara Martinez de Pedro and Jose Antonio Casas de Pedro, in collaboration with the technology-based company CAPTOPLASTIC S.L.


The challenge of plastic waste


Thanks to their outstanding properties, plastics are ubiquitous in our environment and have become an essential pillar of the "throwaway culture". For context, in 2021, global plastic production reached almost 390 million tons, and this figure is projected to double in the next two decades.


In this scenario, the excessive production and inadequate management of plastic waste emerges as one of the main environmental challenges of the XXI century. The shelf life of plastic products varies from one day (single-use plastics) to more than 50 years. 


When discarded, only 12% is used for energy recovery, 9% is recycled, 8% ends up in landfills and, unfortunately, 71% is dispersed in the environment.


This situation poses a serious threat to ecosystems, as these materials can persist for years, taking decades or even centuries to degrade.


Once in the environment, the waste is fragmented into microplastics (< 5 mm) and nanoplastics (< 1 ¥ìm). The dispersion of nanoplastics is especially alarming because, due to their size, they can penetrate biological membranes and affect cell functioning, causing damage to living beings.


Water is the main means of transport of micro- and nanoplastics in the environment. Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) have been identified as critical points in the spread of this pollution. 


Although current WWTP facilities can remove more than 90% of plastic pollutants, the amount released into water bodies remains worryingly high. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new water treatment technologies that prevent the emission of micro- and nanoplastics from WWTPs.
