Physico-chemical processes

Abstract

The review scans research articles published in 2018 on physico-chemical processes for water and wastewater treatment. The paper includes eight sections, that is, membrane technology, granular filtration, flotation, adsorption, coagulation/flocculation, capacitive deionization, ion exchange, and oxidation. The membrane technology section further divides into six parts, including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis/forward osmosis, and membrane distillation. Practitioner points: Totally 266 articles on water and wastewater treatment have been scanned; The review is sectioned into 8 major parts; Membrane technology has drawn the widest attention from the research community.
