Newly developed optimization algorithms have been applied in
several domains of water resources systems, such as reservoir operation
(Ahmadi et al. 2014; Bolouri-Yazdeli et al. 2014; Ashofteh
et al. 2013a, 2015a), groundwater resources (Bozorg-Haddad et al.
2013; Fallah-Mehdipour et al. 2013a), conjunctive use operation
(Fallah-Mehdipour et al. 2013b), design–operation of pumpedstorage
and hydropower systems (Bozorg-Haddad et al. 2014),
flood management (Bozorg-Haddad et al. 2015a), water project
management (Orouji et al. 2014), hydrology (Ashofteh et al.
2013b), qualitative management of water resources systems,
(Orouji et al. 2013; Bozorg-Haddad et al. 2015b; Shokri et al.
2014), water distribution systems (Seifollahi-Aghmiuni et al. 2013;
Soltanjalili et al. 2013; Beygi et al. 2014), agricultural crops
(Ashofteh et al. 2015c), sedimentation (Shokri et al. 2013), and
algorithmic developments (Ashofteh et al. 2015b). However, there
is a lack of studies dealing with phenol removal using Ti=PbO2
anodes with response surface methodology, which was addressed
in the discussed paper.
