An efficient extraction device for microplastics in marine sediments and its applications.

ABSTRACT: Microplastics, defined as small pieces of plastic with a size less than 5 millimeters, constitute a significant sink for microplastics in marine sediments. Given the potential harm to nature and human beings, accurate detection of microplastics in marine sediments is of the utmost importance. The separation of microplastics from marine sediments represents a pivotal step in the quantitative detection of microplastics. This paper presents a high-efficiency extraction device for microplastics in marine sediments, with the objective of enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of microplastics extraction. The device employs an air pump to thoroughly mix the samples and incorporates metal perforated plate fillers to achieve efficient sedimentation, thus facilitating the separation of micropla
