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.

微塑性污染会对人类健康和环境造成无法弥补的损害。该项目旨在开发专门设计的功能性膜结构，以清除水生和废水处理系统中的微塑料。该方法将利用材料科学，分离科学和流体力学的先进技术。预期的结果包括对微塑料过滤具有高分离效率的晚期膜。这将有很大的好处，包括从水源中有效去除可饮用的水源的微塑料，灌溉和再生水，并为所有澳大利亚人提供更安全，更健康的环境。
