Polypropylene microplastic degradation using ultraporous polarized hydroxyapatite and sunlight
The development of effective technologies to remove microplastics (MPs) from both aquatic and terrestrial environments is an urgent necessity. As a proof of concept, here we show the catalytic degradation of polypropylene MPs and their transformation into chemicals using a permanently polarized nove...

| Sumario: | The development of effective technologies to remove microplastics (MPs) from both aquatic and terrestrial environments is an urgent necessity. As a proof of concept, here we show the catalytic degradation of polypropylene MPs and their transformation into chemicals using a permanently polarized novel metal-free bioceramic catalyst and sunlight. |
