Water Pollution and Advanced Water Treatment Technologies

Abstract:  Water treatment -Treating wastewater to make it suitable for reuse, using chemical, physical, or biological methods. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) -Processes that involve generation of oxidising species to chemically destroy pollutants. Micropollutants -Water pollutants with concentrations of several ng/L to µg/L, usually pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides and herbicides. Microplastics -Pieces of plastics with length less than 5 mm, these are emerging water pollutants in urban setti… Show more

“…There are several modern natural sorbents such as activated carbon, green alumina, biosorbents (bacteria, algae and other micro-organisms) and coconut charcoal, as well as ashes and ashes from various plants and wood materials. They effectively remove organic substances, pesticides, chlorine, chemical compounds, toxic metals, radionuclides and other pollutants due to their large surfaces, many pores, high adsorption capacity, chemical stability and natural origin, which are widely used to clean water from various pollutants [10,11].…”
