Abstract
Abstract By summarizing 187 relevant research articles published in 2019, the review is focused on the research progress of physicochemical processes for wastewater treatment. This review divides into two sections, physical processes and chemical processes. The physical processes section includes three sub‐sections, that is, adsorption, granular filtration, and dissolved air flotation, whereas the chemical processes section has five sub‐sections, that is, coagulation/flocculation, advanced oxidation processes, electrochemical, capacitive deionization, and ion exchange. Practitioner points Totally 187 research articles on wastewater treatment have been reviewed and discussed. The review has two major sections with eight sub‐topics.
