“…CDI‐based methods have also been used to remove other inorganic pollutants, including sulphate, nitrate, fluoride, perchlorate, bromine, thiocyanate ammonium, phosphate, and boron, in addition to ion hardness. CDI‐based methods have also been suitable for the removal of organic dyes (Thamilselvan et al, 2018), ionizable antibiotics (Son et al, 2021), radionuclides (Liu & Wang, 2021), carboxylate, phosphonate, and sulfonate organic chemicals, in addition to heavy metals and inorganic contaminants (Kalfa et al, 2020; Xing, Liang, et al, 2020). Direct and indirect channels can accomplish water disinfection during the electrochemical process by modifying the surface of activated carbon electrodes with contact‐active antibacterial agents that physically interrupt the microbe cytoplasmic membrane and kill the microbes effectively.…”
