- W3161609290 abstract "Sludge and biosolids from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), identified as important pathways through which microplastics (MPs) can enter the wider environment, contain high organic content, which can obstruct MP quantification/identification. Time- and cost-effective removal of organics is a significant barrier to MP analysis. This study aims to alleviate these obstacles using a widely available store-bought septic tank cleaner, comprised of enzymes and bacteria. The cleaner was added to sludge samples, obtained from a local WWTP. Digestion was tested across a range of cleaner concentrations and heat treatments, and compared to a control digestion without cleaner. Organic content of samples digested with cleaner was reduced by 93%, representing a 22% greater reduction compared to control samples. Virgin plastic pellets, of a variety of polymers, were subjected to the digestion process and underwent no physical or chemical changes, demonstrating this method does not degrade MPs. As all enzymes were added in a single step, the time required for enzymatic digestion using the cleaner was only two days. Compared to existing methods, which take up to several weeks, this novel enzymatic digestion method offers a viable means of extracting MPs from organic materials without either the long processing times required of chemical (solely Fenton's) methods or high cost of laboratory grade enzyme approaches." @default.
