Filtering microplastics trash from water with acoustic waves

"two speakers to create acoustic waves... creating pressure on a tube of inflowing water. As the tube splits into three channels, the microplastic particles are pressed toward the center as the clean water flows toward the two outer channels... cleaned 150 liters per hour of polluted water... above 56% efficient in pure water and 58% efficient in seawater. Acoustic frequency, speaker-to-pipe distance, and density of the water all affected the amount of force generated and therefore the efficiency"
