Cryptosporidium and Giardia are important parasitic protozoa due to their zoonotic potential and impact on human health, and have often caused waterborne outbreaks of disease. Detection of (oo)cysts in water matrices is challenging and extremely cost...
Owing to its simplicity of measurement, effluent conductivity is one of the most studied factors in evaluations of desalination performance based on the ion concentrations in various ion adsorption processes such as capacitive deionization (CDI) or b...
The UV/monochloramine (UV/NHCl) process, while efficiently eliminating micropollutants, produces toxic byproducts. This study utilized Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) to investigate molecular-level changes in n...
The massive use and discharge of antibiotics have led to increasing concerns about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in natural aquatic environments. Since the dose-response mechanisms of pathogens with AMR have not yet been fully understood, and the an...
The abatement of micropollutants by ozonation can be accurately calculated by measuring the exposures of molecular ozone (O) and hydroxyl radical (OH) (i.e., ∫[O]dt and ∫[OH]dt). In the actual ozonation process, ∫[O]dt values can be calculated by mon...
Depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO) is a significant incentive for biological catastrophic events in freshwater lakes. Although predicting the DO concentrations in lakes with high-frequency real-time data to prevent hypoxic events is effective, few re...
Against the backdrop of severe leakage issue in water distribution systems (WDSs), numerous researchers have focused on the development of deep learning-based acoustic leak detection technologies. However, these studies often prioritize model develop...
This study introduces a novel approach to transport modelling by integrating experimentally derived causal priors into neural networks. We illustrate this paradigm using a case study of metformin, a ubiquitous pharmaceutical emerging pollutant, and i...
Data-driven metamodels reproduce the input-output mapping of physics-based models while significantly reducing simulation times. Such techniques are widely used in the design, control, and optimization of water distribution systems. Recent research h...
In sludge dewatering of most wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the dose of polymer flocculant is manually adjusted through direct visual inspection of the flocs without the aid of any instruments. Although there is a demand for the development of ...
