Abstract

Microplastics (MPs), as an emerging pollutant, have attracted widespread attention from scholars both domestically and internationally due to their potential harm to the ecosystems. At present, the presences of MPs have been widely detected in the global water environment, so the removal of MPs in water bodies is particularly important. There is no treatment technology that can completely remove MPs from water presently. This article introduces typical MPs removal technologies from the aspects of methods, influencing factors, and removal results based on existing research, and looks forward to future related research. The physical technology operation process is simple and currently has relatively more practical applications. Chemical technology has a high removal efficiency, but further research and promotion are still needed; Biotechnology is relatively energy-efficient and economical, but it is not yet suitable for promotion and use in practical applications. Future research should focus more on the treatment of small-sized MPs and strengthen the combination of multiple treatment technologies. The article will provide a research foundation and direction for the removal of MPs in water bodies, in order to better solve the problem of MPs pollution.
