海底微塑膠吸收「魚」

人類生活產生出來的塑膠廢物也有機會被排出海洋。這些廢㪵不能被完全分解。只會被海浪沖刷成微塑膠。如果海洋生物不幸吃掉了的話，他們會生病甚至死亡。不過「海底微塑膠吸收『魚』」可以回收海裡的廢膠。

首先，這條機㭜魚可以分離出水裡的膠。污水會經水管送去一個載滿膠球的箱，水中較大的膠粒會被困於膠球上的小孔。不同種類的微生物也會幫助分解較細微的膠粒。過濾後，水會從泵排回海裏。

Micro-plastic absorbing “fish”

The plastic waste that humans produce often end up in the sea. But these waste materials cannot be fully decomposed and over time they will become micro-plastic. If sea animals consume these micro-plastics they may get sick and die. So, I have designed the “Micro-plastic absorbing ‘fish’” to collect and recycle the plastic in the ocean.

This robotic fish has the ability to separate plastic from water. The contaminated water flows through a box containing plastic spheres. The larger plastic molecules will be trapped in the small holes on the surface of the spheres. While the smaller plastics will be eaten by different kinds of microbes.

After the filtration process, the clean water will be pumped back into the ocean.
