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 ...
Source and raw water quality may deteriorate due to rainfall and river flow events that occur in watersheds. The effects on raw water quality are normally detected in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) with a time-lag after these events in the w...
This study investigated the coexistence and contamination of manganese (Mn(II)) and arsenite (As(III)) in groundwater and examined their oxidation behavior under different equilibrating parameters, including varying pH, bicarbonate (HCO) concentratio...
Removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from water matrices is crucial owing to its pervasiveness and adverse ecological and human health effects. This study investigates the adsorptive removal of PFOA using magnetic biochar (MBC) derived from FeCl-...
Developing an optimized and targeted design approach for metal-modified biochar based on water quality conditions and management is achievable through machine learning. This study leveraged machine learning to analyze experimental data on phosphate a...
