Abstract
The efficiency of the removal of microplastics from water by using the generated EC from AC and DC systems is theoretically examined through this experiment. Microplastics are among the most frequently known environmental polluters that threaten aquatic life and human health. Electrocoagulation seems to be a promising method for the considerable removal of pollutants by exploiting the coagulative properties through electrochemically produced ions. The paper compares the efficacy of coagulation, energy consumption, and water quality after the treatment in AC and DC setups suggesting innovation to optimise the efficiency as well as sustainability of removal.
