This life cycle analysis aimed to evaluate possible impacts associated with manufacture and operation of six different micromixers for wastewater treatment. This LCA was based on an attributional approach or descriptive "cradle to gate"

of the laboratory-scale processes. The functional unit of this study was defined as 5 mL of treated wastewater by each micromixer. System boundaries were set from the use of raw materials for the manufacturing microfluidic devices and synthesis of Lac-Magnetite nanoparticles until the absorbance analysis of treated wastewater.
