A review of biological drinking water treatment technologies for contaminants removal from polluted water resources
Abstract
Abstract This paper is the first critical review of the technology of water treatment via biological process for contaminants removal from water resources. The biological process is considered the future for drinking water treatment, especially for developing countries. The main focus of the review is on single and integrated treatment technologies that have been studied for all types of drinking water resources, including surface water and ground water. These treatment technologies have the capability to treat contaminants in polluted drinking water resources, such as heavy metals, natural organic matter, inorganic non-metallic matter, disinfection by-products, endocrine disrupting chemicals and microbial contaminants. The potential threats and challenges of using the biological process for safe drinking water production also have been discussed, as this technology is a relatively new concept for safe drinking water production, and there have been very limited studies performed in developing countries.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
