NOM deteriorates water quality by forming taste, clarification, colour, and odour problems. It
also increases coagulant and chlorine consumption which can initiate disinfection by …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs), sized~ 150 μm, have been found in tap water at levels of~ 5
particles/L, suggesting that water treatment plants are not effectively removing MPs …

The implementation of a machine learning (ML) model to improve both the effectiveness and
sustainability of the water treatment system is a significant challenge in the water sector, with …

This study investigated a hydrophobic-modified cationic polyacrylamide (PAMP) synthesized
through low-pressure UV-initiated copolymerization by using monomers of acrylamide (AM) …

Flocculation experiments were performed in a Taylor-Couette reactor in turbulent conditions
characterized by the mean shear rate. A sequenced hydrodynamic protocol was applied …

Reusing produced water for hydraulic fracturing simultaneously satisfies challenges of fresh
water sourcing and the installation/operation of an extensive disposal well infrastructure …

Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is a common environmentally friendly mining approach.
However, it remains undetermined whether CPB pollutes underground mine water. Tank …

Deep learning (DL) has emerged as a transformative and promising approach to address
inefficient resource management due to imprecise chemical dosing in conventional manual …

Flocculation is an important dynamic process for fine sediment transport. A number of
physical and biochemical factors affecting flocculation have been identified, but quantitative …

Organic matter has long been understood to affect fine sediment flocculation, yet the specific
effects of different types of organic matter remain only partially understood. To address this …
