“…Amongst them, adsorptive processes are especially advantageous due to their relatively low implementation and operational costs and because they avoid the generation of transformation products with unknown toxicity effects. Activated carbon (Zhang et al, 2015;Chen et al, 2017), a widely used adsorbent in water treatment applications, and other adsorbent materials, such as biochar, zeolites, materials with layers of MnO 2 , TiO 2 , CeO 2 on their surfaces, and polymeric resins (Ji et al, 2017;He et al, 2012;Alsewaileh et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2019;Barlokova et al, 2017), have been tested for the removal of BrO 3 − from water.…”
