“Nature-inspired physicochemical process: Jellyfish mucin for efficient removal of nanoplastics from water” Prof. Isam Sabbah, July 11th, 2025 – Room 155/1 at 15.00, SIMAU Department

This study investigates the synergistic effect of jellyfish mucus and commercial coagulants on the removal of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) from water. The results reveal that combining low doses of jellyfish mucus (0.8 and 2 mg L-1) with commonly used coagulants, such as ferric chloride (FeCl₃) and polyaluminum chlorohydrate (PAC) significantly enhances the removal...
