Simulation of Acoustophoretic Separation of Microplastic Particles in mkFluidic Lab-chip

摘要

In this research we propose a simulation study of the acoustophoretic motion of microplastic particles suspended in a water-filled microchannel. The mechanism of acoustofluidic microparticles sorting was analyzed in dedicated originally designed Lab-chip device. Under the action of acoustic waves, the microparticles are focused at the points of the acoustic pressure nodes and transported further for detection and analysis.
