“…Several conventional and advanced wastewater treatment technologies have been studies over the last decades, including aerobic granular sludge (AGS) (Hou et al, 2021), adsorption (Sizirici & Yildiz, 2020), membrane bioreactor (MBR) (Al-Asheh et al, 2021), advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) (Pandis et al, 2022), ion exchange (IEX) (Hashemi et al, 2020), reverse osmosis (RO) (Tałałaj, 2022), pulse flow reverse osmosis (PFRO) (Liberman et al, 2020), ultrafiltration (UF) (Field & Wu, 2022), and coagulation/flocculation (CF) (Ehteshami et al, 2015). The performance of these processes and the affecting factors have to be studied in order to develop mathematical models that can predict the removal efficiency in relation to specific contaminants from wastewater.…”
