- Abstract:
- With the public’s hot discussion on plastic waste problem in recent years, microplastic pollution also has received more attention, and domestic research on microplastic water pollution has increased year by year. For a comprehensive understanding the current situation of microplastic pollution in domestic water environment and the removal effect of traditional water treatment technology on microplastic, the related research on microplastics pollution in domestic water was collected and sorted out. The results showed that the domestic water environment is generally polluted by microplastics at present, and the pollution of fresh water system is more serious than that of offshore sea area, and the pollution of source water is also not optimistic. However, the sewage treatment plant cannot realize the complete interception of the microplastic in the sewage and thus continuously aggravate the pollution situation of the receiving waterbody, and the removal effect of drinking water treaetment plant on the microplastic is lack of case studies. How to control the point source pollution of sewage treatment plant and whether the drinking water treatment plant can realize the high purification of microplastic to ensure the safety of drinking water has become urgent research topics. By analyzing the removal effect of different water treatment processes on microplastic, the development trend of microplastic removal technology was discussed, which could provide a reference for the development of water microplastic pollution research in China.
