“…The removal of EPs by CWs is mainly through the absorption and degradation (Li, Gao, et al, 2019; Li, Li, et al, 2019; Li, Zhang, Zeng, et al, 2019; Li, Liu, Zhang, Li, et al, 2019; Li, Zhang, Xia, Wang, et al, 2019; Li, Zhang, Hu, et al, 2019; Li, Sun, Zhang, Feng, et al, 2019; Li, Wang, et al, 2019; Li, Yuan, Gao, et al, 2019; Rabello et al, 2019). Adsorption is an important way to remove EPs, and the substrate, soil, and sediment of packed bed in CWs play major roles in adsorption (Nguyen, Chao, & Chen, 2019; Nguyen, Afzal, et al, 2019; Sardana, Cottrell, Soulsby, & Aziz, 2019; Zhao, Yan, et al, 2019; Zhao, Jian, et al, 2019). The degradation of EPs in CWs is mainly through microbial degradation, photolysis, and hydrolysis (Tara et al, 2019).…”
