Abstract :


Microplastic contamination poses severe environmental and public health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity. Existing removal methods are limited by inefficiency, clogging, or by-product generation [1]. This project introduces an ultrasonic-based system for microplastic removal that leverages acoustic standing waves to concentrate particles for continuous filtration. The system integrates three main components: a controlled water circulation pump, an AD9833-driven ultrasonic transducer for frequency sweeps, and a turbidity sensing module for real-time performance evaluation. Two experiments were conducted to assess performance. Frequency sweeps identified 1.20 MHz as the optimal resonance for focusing, while pump testing revealed 50% duty as the best balance between residence time and throughput. Compared to prior methodologies that relied on degradation, aggregation, or microfluidics, our approach provides a scalable, low-maintenance, and environmentally sustainable solution [2]. The results confirm the promise of acoustics for practical wastewater treatment and set the foundation for further development.
