Performance Analysis of an Integrated Multi-Stage System for Coffee Industry Wastewater Treatment.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Wastewater generated during the processing of roasted coffee, including instant coffee, remains relatively unknown in the literature. However, it is characterized by a high organic load and the presence of caffeine, phenolic compounds, and melanoidins. Its properties pose significant environmental and technological challenges, limiting the effectiveness of conventional treatment methods. The research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated, multi-stage wastewater treatment system that reflects the process of roasted coffee extraction. The developed technological sequence included biological treatment, activated carbon sorption, membrane filtration, and disinfection using ozone and UV radiation. The experiments used synthetic wastewater containing an extract of roasted coffee beans to simulate the contaminants typically found in instant coffee production and the cleaning of processing equipment. The integrated treatment system enabled the removal of total organic carbon (82.4-95.4%), ammonium nitrogen (0-77.4%), and phosphates (0-39.9%), and a reduction in turbidity of 96.3-99.8% at pH 4.02-7.25. The results confirm the system's high efficiency and its potential for treating complex coffee wastewater, while also highlighting the need for further research into the selection of more favorable process parameters.
