What is Density Separation of Microplastics about?

This study compared different salt solutions for separating microplastics from solid samples like sand, soil and compost. It evaluated sodium bromide, sodium chloride, sodium hexametaphosphate and water for density separation followed by oxidation. Sodium bromide achieved the highest recovery rates of 87.3-100.3% for conventional plastics and 38.2-78.2% for biodegradable plastics, depending on the sample matrix. The type of solid matrix influences the recovery rates and must be considered when choosing a pr
