Disinfection processes in water treatment produce disinfection byproducts (DBPs), such as iodinated trihalomethanes (I-THMs), which pose significant health risks. Mitigating I-THMs remains challenging due to the complex interactions among water quali...
The hydrothermal-calcination technique was used to modify raw sand with silver (Ag) at different weight percentages: 2%, 5%, and 10% using silver nitrate. The raw and sand-coated Ag nanoparticle samples were analyzed using various techniques, includi...

The potential of measurement-based control strategies for achieving lower NO emissions in biological wastewater treatment is limited due to strong temporal variations in NO emissions and a lack of measurement data regarding influencing parameters. To...
Alum sludge (AlS) has emerged as an effective adsorbent for anionic contaminants, with traditional activation methods like acid/base treatments and calcination employed to enhance its adsorption capacity. However, these approaches encounter significa...
Wastewater treatment is a key component in maintaining environmental health and sustainable urban life, and the rapid development of micro/nanotechnology has opened up new avenues for more efficient treatment processes. This work developed a novel bi...
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are highly complex systems where biological, chemical, and physical processes interact dynamically, creating significant operational challenges. Traditional modeling approaches, such as Activated Sludge Models (ASM...
This study introduces an interpretable machine learning framework to predict nitrogen removal in membrane bioreactor (MBR) treating high-salinity wastewater. By integrating Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) with Categorical Boosting (CatBoost), we...

Assessing the degradation of emerging contaminants in water through chlorination is crucial for regulatory monitoring of these contaminants. In this study, we developed a machine learning model to predict the apparent second-order reaction rate const...
In this study, we address the challenge of screening resins and optimizing operation conditions for the removal of 43 perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), spanning both long- and short-chain fluorocarbon variants, across diverse wat...
Controllers of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) often struggle to maintain optimal performance due to dynamic influent characteristics and the need to balance multiple operational objectives. In this study, Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms a...
