- Strategy for removing micropollutants from industrial effluentsPublication . Godoi, Milena Maria de; Queiroz, A.M; Ribeiro, António E.; Brito, Paulo; Menezes, Maraísa LopesThis study addresses strategies for the removal of micropollutants from industrial effluents, with emphasis on the characterization and treatment of water contaminated by microplastics. In light of increasing water pollution and the challenges associated with its mitigation, the research integrates a bibliographic review and a laboratory-scale experimental approach, compiling technical, regulatory, and methodological information applicable to sustainable water resource management. The main sources, characteristics, and behavior of microplastics in industrial environments are discussed, along with identification and quantification methods, considering the analytical limitations associated with the morphological and compositional diversity of these particles. Regarding treatment technologies, the study evaluates physicochemical and advanced processes, including coagulation–flocculation, filtration, and membrane separation, highlighting their efficiencies and limitations in the removal of particles of different sizes. Additionally, a critical assessment of adsorbent materials, such as activated carbon, is presented, emphasizing their greater applicability for dissolved compounds and their limitations when applied to particulate contaminants such as microplastics. Finally, the study highlights the importance of integrated treatment systems, as well as the need for methodological standardization and regulatory advancements to support the control of emerging contaminants and the protection of aquatic ecosystems.
