Funded Activity Summary

Peculiar membrane structures for removing microplastics from water. Microplastic pollution can inflict irreparable damage to human health and the environment. This project aims to develop functional membrane structures specifically designed to remove microplastics from aquatic and wastewater treatment systems. The approach will utilise advanced techniques in material science, separation science and fluid mechanics. The expected outcomes include advanced membranes with high separation efficiency for microplastics filtration. This will have significant benefits, including the efficient removal of microplastics from water sources securing cleaner potable, irrigation and recycled water, and contributing to a safer, healthier environment for all Australians.
