The ion exchange resin was used to separate the DOM components from peat water. In addition, the UV–Vis spectrum was examined between 200 and 700 nm. The hydrophobic-acid (HPOA) fraction contains the highest concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), THM4 production potential, and calculated cytotoxicity.

Electrocoagulation (EC) is one such technology that is broad-based, highly reliable, and cost-effective. It also has a high pollutant removal efficiency and generates less sludge when compared with other techniques. However, despite being effectively used to treat a wide range of wastewater, a thorough examination of its efficiency under various process variables has not been critically examined. Various operating factors, such as pH, current density, the conductivity of the solution, electrode material, and mixing conditions, impact the electrocoagulation system.

Concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) all showed a downward trend along the flow direction in reclaimed water effluent pipeline. However, values of turbidity, COD, and chlorophyll <em>a</em> (Chla) were decreased significantly, while concentrations of TN and TP were increased in the mixed area of reclaimed water and river. Furthermore, along Licun River, an upward trend of COD and ammonia-nitrogen (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N) was observed in summer, while in other seasons, a falling first and then rising trend of COD concentration appeared. The concentration of NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N randomly fluctuated between 0.08 mg/L to 2.05 mg/L among all seasons, and TN and nitrate-nitrogen (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>-N) were below 15 mg/L with a downward first and then upward trend in each season. The concentration of TP showed a slightly upward trend (ranging from 0.08 mg/L to 0.57 mg/L) and Chla was at a relatively low level (0 – 46.32 μg/L).

The results showed that the water contains hydrophobic high molecular weight natural organic matter (NOM) in form of humic and fulvic acids. These acid contaminants caused brownish color and acidic pH of the water. The performance of treatment processes such as filtration, adsorption, and ozonation also reduced the presence of NOM, while several chemical and physical parameters were discussed. Although reports regarding PWT were available, most of them only focused on the removal of standard physicochemical parameters such as color and pH.

Excessive releases of CR have resulted in adverse impacts on water environments and ecological systems due to its non-biodegradable, toxic and carcinogenic properties. Therefore, the removal of CR from water environments is of important for wastewater treatment. Previous studies have proved that metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were feasible for CR adsorption, but less stable in water environments. Several functionalized materials have therefore been used to produce MOF-derived composite material for better performance. To simplify the synthesis processes and reduce the energy consumption, an ionic liquid (IL) was used in this study for the synthesis of [BMIM][PF<sub>6</sub>]/ZIF-8 (BP/Z) composite material. The morphological structure of this material remained stable after the incorporation of IL. The equilibrium time of CR adsorption was 90 min with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1463 mg/g.
