To effectively evaluate the performance of capacitive deionization (CDI), an electrochemical ion separation technology, it is necessary to accurately estimate the number of ions removed (effluent concentration) according to energy consumption. Herein...
Optimal technology selection of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) necessitates the adoption of data-driven scientific approaches that satisfy the sustainability requirements of the urban ecosystem. Such approaches should be able to provide actionab...
The high concentrations of heavy metals in municipal industrial sewer networks will seriously impact the microorganisms of the activated sludge in the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), thus deteriorating the effluent quality and destroying the stabi...
Metals in stormwater can be toxic to organisms, particularly when occurring in truly dissolved form (fraction <3 kDa). Here, using 153 samples collected during six rains, we investigated intra-events variations of total, dissolved and truly dissolved...
Wastewater recycling is the measure with enormous potentiality to achieve carbon neutrality in wastewater treatment plants. High-precision online monitoring can improve the stability of wastewater treatment system and help wastewater recycling. A new...
Mathematical modeling plays a critical role toward the mitigation of nitrous oxide (NO) emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In this work, we proposed a novel hybrid modeling approach by integrating the first principal model with deep ...
This paper proposes a novel interval prediction method for effluent water quality indicators (including biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N)), which are key performance indices in the water quality monitoring and control of a ...
Microplastic pollution of stormwater can be a serious threat to the environment. Gross pollutant trap (GPT) - bioretention treatment trains have been shown previously to treat (inter alia) particulate stormwater pollutants including microplastic part...
Understanding the mechanisms of pollutant removal in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) is crucial for controlling effluent quality efficiently. However, the numerous treatment units, operational factors, and the underlying interactions between thes...
This study aims at providing a robust artificial intelligent model for predicting the efficiency of heavy metal removal from aqueous solutions of biochar systems with high accuracy and reliability. Not only is it environmentally significant, but it i...
