Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a Prussian blue-based coagulant and a microplastic coagulation method using the same, which may effectively coagulate microplastics having a size of less than 20 μm or nanoplastics and implement an environmentally harmless coagulation process, and the Prussian blue-based coagulant according to the present disclosure refers to Prussian blue being used as a coagulant for microplastics present in a water-system environment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A Prussian blue-based coagulant comprising Prussian blue or Prussian blue analogue, wherein Prussian blue or Prussian blue analogue is used as a coagulant for microplastics present in a water-system environment. 2 . The Prussian blue-based coagulant according to claim 1 , wherein a chemical formula of the Prussian blue analogue is Me 1 Me 2 (CN 6 ) (wherein Me 1 and Me 2 are different transition metals). 3 . A microplastic coagulation method using a Prussian blue-based coagulant according to claim 1 , wherein the microplastic coagulation method comprises coagulating microplastics present in a water-system environment by using Prussian blue or Prussian blue analogue under visible-light irradiation. 4 . The microplastic coagulation method according to claim 3 , wherein a chemical formula of the Prussian blue analogue is Me 1 Me 2 (CN 6 ) (wherein Me 1 and Me 2 are different transition metals). 5 . The microplastic coagulation method according to claim 3 , wherein a pH of the water-system environment where the microplastics are present is neutral or alkaline. 6 . The microplastic coagulation method according to claim 4 , wherein a pH of the water-system environment where the microplastics are present is neutral or alkaline.
