Our TUBITAK 1002 project titled "Removal of Microplastics by Granular Filtration with Calcium Carbonate Addition and Development of Filter Model" has been approved.
221
+
The project is led by Principal Investigator Dr. Selda Yiğit Hunce, with Prof. Haluk Bayram and Prof. Elif Soyer serving as researchers, bringing together multidisciplinary expertise in environmental engineering and filtration modeling.

This project aims to achieve the sustainable removal of microplastics from aqueous environments by utilizing in-situ generated calcite (calcium carbonate) particles via the carbonation of calcium hydroxide suspension,
224
+
thereby eliminating or reducing the need for harmful chemical coagulants.
225
+
These particles interact with microplastics through physical and chemical pathways, facilitating their accumulation and subsequent entrapment within a rapid sand filter system.

In the filtration model section, under the responsibility of Prof. Bayram, a time-series prediction model based on experimental data will be developed to forecast outputs such as
228
+
turbidity and head loss, using input variables including effective diameter, filtration velocity, and dosage.

This project proposes an eco-friendly treatment approach that fills a critical gap in the literature by minimizing chemical dependency in microplastic remediation.
