Transport and sedimentation of microplastics by turbidity currents: Dependence on suspended sediment concentration and grain size

Transport and sedimentation of microplastics by turbidity currents: Dependence on suspended sediment concentration and grain size

Using lock-exchange experiments, this study investigates the transport and sedimentation of microplastics (MPs) via turbidity currents. Two hypotheses were tested: MP sedimentation is influenced by suspended sediment concentration and grain size. Utilizing flows with different sediment concentration...
