| contents | <p>Plastic pollution, especially nano and microplastics, poses a major risk to aquatic <br>ecosystems and human health. This paper focuses on analysing different methods for <br>water purification from nano and microplastics, facing the important environmental <br>challenge posed by plastic pollution in water bodies by evidence theory to decide the <br>best techniques. A variety of treatment techniques, including physical, chemical and <br>biological approaches, have been investigated in several studies to assess their <br>effectiveness, feasibility and potential environmental impact. The novelty of this work <br>lies in integrating the proposed treatment methods with Evidence Theory. By <br>incorporating this theoretical perspective, the study not only assesses the effectiveness of <br>different treatment techniques, but also examines their applicability in different <br>pollution scenarios. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the <br>changing effectiveness and dominance of plastic pollutants in aquatic environments. The <br>best water treatment method derived from the evidence theory is reverse osmosis (RO), <br>with a final basis probability assignment (BPA) value of 0.186711, and the most <br>desirable method is Nanofiltration (NF), due to the more energy efficient than RO and <br>minimal chemical usage. It’s final BPA is 0.14865. These results demonstrate that this <br>approach enables a more complete and nuanced analysis, providing insights into how <br>different methods can be optimized or combined for improved water quality <br>management. The findings of this research contribute greatly to ongoing efforts in <br>environmental protection and sustainability by providing a best diverse and <br>multidimensional assessment of water treatment technologies.</p> |
