Boiling tap water helps remove microplastics, says study
Envirotec Magazine
FEBRUARY 29, 2024
Image credit: Eddy Zeng. Nano- and microplastics are seemingly everywhere — water, soil and the air. While many creative strategies have been attempted to get rid of these plastic bits, one unexpectedly effective solution for cleaning up drinking water, specifically, might be as simple as brewing a cup of tea or coffee. As reported in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters , boiling and filtering calcium-containing tap water could help remove nearly 90% of the nano- and microplasti

A bright idea for recycling rare-earth phosphors from used fluorescent bulbs
Envirotec Magazine
FEBRUARY 29, 2024
Recycling facilities collect glass and mercury from thrown away fluorescent bulbs, but discarded lighting could also supply rare-earth metals for reuse. The 17 metals referred to as rare earths aren’t all widely available and aren’t easily extracted with existing recycling methods. Now, researchers have found a simpler way to collect slightly magnetic particles that contain rare-earth metals from spent fluorescent bulbs.
