Project description
Occurrence of organic micropollutants in drinking
water sources is becoming an increasing concern for drinking water utilities.
This research therefore focuses on a novel combination of techniques, namely
reduction followed by adsorption, to achieve more efficient removal of
pollutants at reduced energy costs compared to existing water treatment
techniques.
