The separation of microplastics from environmental matrices
Pařízková, Mia Victoria ; Řezáčová, Veronika (referee) ; Doležalová Weissmannová, Helena (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with methods of separation microplastics from soil and the follow up application of quantitative methods of gravimetry, ATR-FTIR and Py-GC/MS. Samples containing model soil and PET or PLA microplastics of different concentrations were prepared. These samples were separated using potassium carbonate solution of known density. The effectivity of separation was measured by gravimetry. The samples were also analysed using ATR-FTIR and Py-GC/MS methods the results of which were compared by correlation coefficients. It was found that ATR-FTIR is a more suitable method, thus it was used for analysis of prepared samples of ten different real soils and PET or PLA microplastics.
