Hi! I’m Akshay and I turn 18 this July. I really like listening to music and my favourite artist is The Weeknd. I go to the gym quite often and also do boxing.
Tell us what the water concern in your country is!Singapore has managed its water issues very well and could only face quite unlikely challenges from ensuring sustainable water supply during droughts and also making sure drainage is effective during intense rain seasons.
Removal of Copper and Microplastics from wastewater using Electrocoagulation
Microplastic (MP) and heavy metal pollution in water bodies is becoming an increasingly pressing problem in recent years. Electrocoagulation (EC) has previously been shown to be an effective treatment method to remove heavy metals and MPs from wastewater individually. This project aims to study the application of EC in removing copper and microspheres from simulated wastewater simultaneously. Our results suggest that EC can be used to remove both contaminants concurrently, and the presence of copper in wastewater increased removal efficiency of microspheres.
