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.

微塑料污染会对人类健康和环境造成不可弥补的损害。该项目旨在开发专门用于从水生和废水处理系统中去除微塑料的功能性膜结构。该方法将利用材料科学，分离科学和流体力学的先进技术。预期成果包括用于微塑料过滤的具有高分离效率的先进膜。这将带来巨大的好处，包括有效去除水源中的微塑料，确保更清洁的饮用水、灌溉水和循环水，并为所有澳大利亚人创造更安全、更健康的环境。
