“…High membrane cost, requirement of resin fouling, resin regeneration [22,23] Coagulation and flocculation Settling and dewatering of sludge High cost, large consumption of chemicals [24,25] Membrane filtration [7,30] The majority of these methods [7,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] are expensive, ineffective in certain concentrations, or time-consuming, and adsorption is limited by the cost of the adsorption material [1,[6][7][8][9]31,32]. For these reasons, the choice of sorbent is crucial for the development of a simple, efficient, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly water purification method [33,34].…”
