  Biopolymer-Based Flocculation for Microplastic Removal: Fenugreek and Okra as Sustainable Alternatives to Synthetic Flocculants

  By Vivesh Selladurai, Kannan R., Vinod Kumar

  Abstract: Microplastic pollution has emerged as a persistent global environmental concern due to its widespread presence in aquatic ecosystems and potential implications for food chains and human health. Conventional removal approaches, particularly the use of synthetic flocculants such as polyacrylamide (PAM), have demonstrated high removal efficiencies in water treatment applications. However, their use is often associated with environmental concerns including toxicity, non-biodegradable residues, and energy-intensive production processes. In this context, the …
