| Abstract | The recent regulations pertaining to the circular economy have unlocked new prospects for researchers. In contrast to the unsustainable models associated with the linear economy, integration of concepts of circular economy braces re-ducing, reusing, and recycling of waste materials into high-end products. In this regard, adsorption is a promising and cost-effective water treatment technology for handling conventional and emerging pollutants. Numerous studies are published annually to investigate the technical performance of nano-adsorbents and nanocomposites in terms of adsorption capacity and kinetics. Yet, economic performance evaluation is rarely discussed in the literature. Even if an adsorbent shows high removal efficiency towards a specific pollutant, its high preparation and/or utilization costs might hinder its real-life use. This tutorial review aims at illustrating cost estimation methods for the synthesis and utilization of conventional and nano-adsorbents. The current treatise discusses the synthesis of adsorbents on a laboratory scale where the raw material, transportation, chemical, energy, and any other costs are discussed. More-over, equations for estimating the costs at the large-scale adsorption units for wastewater treatment are illustrated. This review focuses on introducing these topics to non-specialized readers in a detailed but simplified manner. |
