Modelling of Diffusiophoretic Motion for Microplastic Filtration in Microchannel Flows.

This research develops microchannel designs for water filtration by harnessing diffusiophoresis, which induces particle motion using an electrolyte solute gradient in a cross-flow orientation.Diffusiophoresis shows potential to provide a decentralized and low-cost water filtration technology to separate micrometer sized colloids such as microplastics from raw water.
