Now, they’ve found that okra and/or fenugreek extracts attracted and removed up to 90% of microplastics from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ocean</a> water, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freshwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freshwater</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/groundwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#groundwater</a>."With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, Rajani Srinivasan and colleagues at Tarleton State University found that the plant-based polymers from okra, fenugreek, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tamarind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tamarind</a> stick to microplastics, clumping together and sinking for easy separation from water."In this next stage of the research, they have optimized the process for okra and fenugreek extracts and tested results in a variety of types of water."To extract the sticky plant polymers, the team soaked sliced okra pods and blended fenugreek seeds in separate containers of water overnight. Then, researchers removed the dissolved extracts from each solution and dried them into powders."Analyses published in the American Chemical Society journal showed that the powdered extracts contained <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polysaccharides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#polysaccharides</a>, which are natural polymers. Initial tests in pure water spiked with microplastics showed that:- One gram of either powder in a quart (one liter) of water trapped microplastics the most effectively. - Dried okra and fenugreek extracts removed 67% and 93%, respectively, of the plastic in an hour. - A mixture of equal parts okra and fenugreek powder reached maximum removal efficiency (70%) within 30 minutes. - The natural polymers performed significantly better than the synthetic, commercially available polyacrylamide polymer used in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wastewater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wastewater</a> treatment."Then the researchers tested the plant extracts on real microplastic-polluted water. They collected samples from waterbodies around Texas and brought them to the lab. The plant extract removal efficiency changed depending on the original water source."Okra worked best in ocean water (80%), fenugreek in groundwater (80-90%), and the 1:1 combination of okra and fenugreek in freshwater (77%)."The researchers hypothesize that the natural polymers had different efficiencies because each water sample had different types, sizes and shapes of microplastics."Polyacrylamide, which is currently used to remove contaminants during wastewater treatment, has low toxicity, but its precursor <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/acrylamide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#acrylamide</a> is considered <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/toxic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#toxic</a>.
