“…DMTS is negligibly removed by conventional treatment processes due to their low molecular weights. Various methods, including coagulation / fl occulation, adsorption, biosorption, advanced oxidation and ozonation, have been employed for the treatment of T&O from water (Cook et al, 2001;Wakita et al, 2001;Park et al, 2007;Muthuraman et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2011). Among various treatment methods, adsorption is more effective than other techniques because of its costeffective, simplicity of design, and ease of operation.…”
