Abstract

Owing to water scarcity, groundwater quality has become an important constraint on sustainable regional development, especially in coastal areas. Coastal groundwater is subject to natural conditions and intense human activities, and the evolution of water quality is extremely complex, with the possibility of seawater intrusion into the groundwater, leading to the salinisation of freshwater aquifers. At present, the commonly used methods for removing groundwater pollution include coagulation, adsorption, biological method, membrane technology, etc., among which the coagulation method is more commonly used. At present, three-dimensional electrode electrochemical technology is widely used in high salinity organic wastewater and many organic wastewaters, but there are few studies related to microplastic removal by three-dimensional electrode electrochemical technology using metallic aluminium particles as particle electrodes. The treatment of microplastics in coastal groundwater is a relatively novel issue, and with the increasing application of three-dimensional electrochemical technology in the study of desalination, the three-dimensional electrode electrochemical technology will be promising due to the high salinity of coastal groundwater, the increasingly serious pollution of microplastics, and the fluctuation of water quality and quantity.
