Treatment of microplastics, TBT, PAH, and metals from sediment through density separation
Research Project, 2024 – 2025

Sediment often contains a mixture of pollutants, such as microplastics, tributyltin (TBT), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and metals. In this project, we are investigating whether the method of density separation can be used to remove these contaminants. This method has the potential to promote sustainability in soil and sediment management.
