A simple overflow density separation method that recovers >95% of dense microplastics from sediment
Density separation can isolate microplastics from environmental samples containing sediment. Typically, a solution added to sediment causes microplastics with lower densities to float. The solution of choice can influence the recovery of different particles since denser solutions can separate a grea...
