A methodological framework for assessing aquatic contamination using data science approaches
Environmental contamination (EC) poses significant risk to surface water resources. Particularly, EC by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) have received greater attention due to their bioaccumulation and biomagnification capabilities. However, existing tools for assessing EC by PTEs lack reliability…

Risk-minimizing operating policies for granular-bed anaerobic reactors treating poultry slaughterhouse wastewater: A Bayesian causal framework
Optimizing organic loading rate (OLR) and hydraulic retention time (HRT) in granular-bed anaerobic reactors treating poultry slaughterhouse wastewater requires an explicit understanding of the causal relationships between operational decisions and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. A Bayesian…

Magnetized and functionalized 2-mercaptobenzothiazole nanosilica from rice husk as efficient adsorbent for Hg2+ removal from local gold mining wastewater
Wastewater generated during gold recovery from its mined ores usually contains mercury causing water pollution when discharged into rivers disrupting the ecosystem. In this study, magnetized and functionalized 2-mercaptobenzothiazole nanosilica from rice husk (MnS@MBT) was applied to eliminate Hg2+…
