Portable microplastic filter stand

Abstract

A supporting device for the separation of microplastics from an outdoor water source. This device separates into portable components able to be transported. This device comprises a structural system that can freely stand in the water source and provide an elevated surface to secure a micron filter above the surface of the outdoor water source. The water from the water source is manually collected and poured through the top of the device. The microplastics in the poured water are removed by the secured micron filter, and the water passes through the device to return to the outdoor water source by gravity. The source of separated microplastics is derived from plastic material so the device is comprised of all metal material so that additional microplastic sources are not introduced during use.
