Now, they’ve found that okra and/or fenugreek extracts attracted and removed up to 90% of microplastics from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ocean</a> water, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freshwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freshwater</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/groundwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#groundwater</a>."With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, Rajani Srinivasan and colleagues at Tarleton State University found that the plant-based polymers from okra, fenugreek, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tamarind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tamarind</a> stick to microplastics, clumping together and sinking for easy separation from water."In this next stage of the research, they have optimized the process for okra and fenugreek extracts and tested results in a variety of types of water."To extract the sticky plant polymers, the team soaked sliced okra pods and blended fenugreek seeds in separate containers of water overnight. Then, researchers removed the dissolved extracts from each solution and dried them into powders."Analyses published in the American Chemical Society journal showed that the powdered extracts contained <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polysaccharides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polysaccharides</a>, which are natural polymers. Initial tests in pure water spiked with microplastics showed that:- One gram of either powder in a quart (one liter) of water trapped microplastics the most effectively. - Dried okra and fenugreek extracts removed 67% and 93%, respectively, of the plastic in an hour. - A mixture of equal parts okra and fenugreek powder reached maximum removal efficiency (70%) within 30 minutes. - The natural polymers performed significantly better than the synthetic, commercially available polyacrylamide polymer used in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wastewater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wastewater</a> treatment."Then the researchers tested the plant extracts on real microplastic-polluted water. They collected samples from waterbodies around Texas and brought them to the lab. The plant extract removal efficiency changed depending on the original water source."Okra worked best in ocean water (80%), fenugreek in groundwater (80-90%), and the 1:1 combination of okra and fenugreek in freshwater (77%)."The researchers hypothesize that the natural polymers had different efficiencies because each water sample had different types, sizes and shapes of microplastics."Polyacrylamide, which is currently used to remove contaminants during wastewater treatment, has low toxicity, but its precursor <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/acrylamide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acrylamide</a> is considered <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/toxic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toxic</a>.

'Utilizing these plant-based extracts in water treatment will remove microplastics and other pollutants without introducing additional toxic substances to the treated water,' said Srinivasan in a media release, 'thus reducing long-term health risks to the population [and the environment]."She had previously studied the use of food-grade plant extracts as non-toxic flocculants to remove textile-based pollutants from wastewater and thought, ‘Why not try microplastics?’"Source: <a href="https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/plant-based-filter-removes-up-to-99-9-of-microplastics-from-water/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/plant-based-filter-removes-up-to-99-9-of-microplastics-from-water/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlasticPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlasticPollution</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Plastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plastics</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pollution</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PollutionSolutions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PollutionSolutions</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Remediation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Remediation</a>

Striking blue waters, lush jungles, and pristine beaches make it a paradise. It’s also home to other unique inhabitants, such as sea turtles, dolphins, and… plastics? "According to a new study from the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa, plastics are becoming the most prevalent form of pollution in the ocean, which can be detrimental to marine species and their habitat. However, researchers from UH discovered a fungus from Hawai‘i’s nearshore environment that may have the ability to break down plastics, and to top it off, they may be conditioned to do it faster. The findings were recently published in Mycologia." 'Plastic in the environment today is extremely long-lived and is nearly impossible to degrade using existing technologies,' said Ronja Steinbach, lead author of the study and a marine biology undergraduate student at the UH Mānoa College of Natural Sciences, in a press release."Marine fungi may be a term you’ve never heard before. This is likely due to the fact that less than 1 percent of marine fungi are known to science." 'Our research highlights marine fungi as a promising and largely untapped group to investigate for new ways to recycle and remove plastic from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a>. Very few people study fungi in the ocean, and we estimated that fewer than one percent of marine fungi are currently described,' said Steinbach in the press release. "For this study, the research team looked at marine fungi found in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corals</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/seaweed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seaweed</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sand</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sponges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sponges</a> from Hawai’i’s nearshore. And they hope that the fungi could help degrade plastics in the marine environment. " 'Fungi possess a superpower for eating things that other organisms can’t digest (like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wood</a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chitin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chitin</a>), so we tested the fungi in our collection for their ability to digest plastic,' said Anthony Amend, Pacific Biosciences Research Center professor and co-lead author of the study, in a press release. The Hungry Fungi"The team exposed the fastest-growing fungi to small dishes filled with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polyurethane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polyurethane</a>, a common plastic, and noted if and how fast the fungi would consume it. The team also 'experimentally evolved' the fungi to see if they would grow and consume more polyurethane the more they were exposed to the plastic. " 'We were shocked to find that more than 60 percent of the fungi we collected from the ocean had some ability to eat plastic and transform it into fungi,' Steinbach said in a press release. 'We were also impressed to see how quickly fungi were able to adapt. It was very exciting to see that in just three months, a relatively short amount of time, some of the fungi were able to increase their feeding rates by as much as 15 percent.'"The research team is currently working to see if these marine fungi can break down other forms of plastics, such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polyethylene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#polyethylene</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PolyethyleneTerephthalate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PolyethyleneTerephthalate</a>. They’re also trying to understand how, at a molecular level, these fungi can degrade these plastics.
