Читать книгу Selenium Contamination in Water - Группа авторов - Страница 19

The presence of selenium in plants has been modeled to show a tight borderline limit between nutritious prerequisite and toxic supplement. The steep dose response curve caused by the bioaccumulation properties of selenium have led to the description of this element as a “tinderbox.” Water treatment for selenium removal is a component of successful selenium management strategy. Several technologies have been used by countries for selenium removal. There is a noticeable evolutionary role played by machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques in modeling and estimating the parameters contributing to efficient performance of systems.

At this stage, benchmarking plays a significant role in assessing the performance of technologies in terms of their value proposition, environmental impacts (following the principle of clean technology with proper treatment of sludge as product obtained) or, in other words, satisfying all the components of ASSURED analysis: A (Affordable), S (Scalable), S (Sustainable), U (Universal), R (Rapid), E (Excellent), D (Distinctive). A credible benchmarking by assessing the technologies based on the ASSURED parameters will help to screen technology which is more capable of being replicable, non‐disruptive, and scalable.
