Sludge disposal is an integral part of wastewater treatment systems, and its cost usually
accounts for more than half of the total operation cost. Sludge disposal technology is facing …

Flocculation is a water and wastewater treatment technology whereby the large aggregation
of flocs in water can be formed and be later separated through sedimentation. This review …

Water contamination is a global threat due to its damaging effects on the environment and
human health. Water pollution by microplastics (MPs), dissolved natural organic matter …

Biopolymer-based flocculants have become a potential substitute for inorganic coagulants
and synthetic organic flocculants due to their wide natural reserves, environmental …

To achieve economical and efficient decolorization, two novel flocculants, weakly

This article concisely reviews the most recent contributions to the development of
sustainable bio-based polymers with antimicrobial properties. This is because some of the …

To reuse water and reduce water pollution, such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), total
suspended solids (TSS), PO 4, NTU, and NO 3, advanced wastewater treatment …

In this study, papermaking sludge-based flocculant (PSBF) and commercial lignin-based
flocculant (LBF) have been synthesized by the same graft copolymerization procedures. The …

Large amounts of waste activated sludge (WAS) as a by-product generated from the
biological treatment in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is of high moisture content …

Microplastics (MPs) pose a potential risk to aquatic ecosystems, and there is a growing
demand to alleviate the contamination of MPs. Here, we introduce cationic-modified starch …
