  • Are activated carbon-based processes a viable alternative to urban wastewater treatment?
  • Activated carbon-based processes and ozonation are so far the most viable advanced treatment options for enhanced removal of organic microcontaminants of emerging concern from urban wastewaters. This is evidenced by their increasing full-scale implementation in urban WWTPs in Europe, mainly in Switzerland and Germany.
  • Can China's sewage treatment industry practice a low-carbon development path?
  • Under the “double carbon” strategic goal, China's sewage treatment industry must practice the low-carbon development path. Wastewater treatment does not only consume high energy but also generates a lot of carbon dioxide (Xi et al., 2025).
  • Is there a sustainable 'zero-carbon' municipal wastewater treatment plant in China?
  • This report aims to construct a sustainable ‘zero-carbon’ municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in China while concurrently emphasizing the recovery and utilization of organic energy, mainly organic matter.
  • Can activated carbon adsorption be used with a good quality wastewater?
  • Experimental data modelled with the Freundlich isotherm. Since the activated carbon demand to achieve the desired removal of target microcontaminants highly depends on wastewater DOC content, adsorption is recommended to be used with a good quality wastewater (ideally DOC < 10 mgC/L) which will favor a good performance-dose balance [38, 47].
