Analysis and removal of emerging contaminants in wastewater and drinking water
The occurrence of trace organic contaminants in wastewaters, their behaviour during wastewater treatment and drinking water production are the key issues in relation to the reuse of water resources. Elimination of different classes of emerging contaminants, such as surfactant degradates, pharmaceuticals and polar pesticides in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) was found to be rather low and co...
متن کاملSolar-Enhanced Advanced Oxidation Processes for Water Treatment: Simultaneous Removal of Pathogens and Chemical Pollutants
The review explores the feasibility of simultaneous removal of pathogens and chemical pollutants by solar-enhanced advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The AOPs are based on in-situ generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), most notably hydroxyl radicals •OH, that are capable of destroying both pollutant molecules and pathogen cells. The review presents evidence of simultaneous removal of pa...
متن کاملPharmaceuticals, Personal Care Products, and Endocrine Disruptors in Water: Implications for the Water Industry
For over 70 years, scientists have reported that certain synthetic and natural compounds could mimic natural hormones in the endocrine systems of animals. These substances are now collectively known as endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), and have been linked to a variety of adverse effects in both humans and wildlife. More recently, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have bee...
متن کاملAn Overview of the Integration of Advanced Oxidation Technologies and Other Processes for Water and Wastewater Treatment
Integration of advanced oxidation technologies and other traditional wastewater treatment processes has been proven to be more effective for treating polluted sources of drinking water and industrial wastewater economically. The way of selecting the methods depends on the characteristics of the waste stream, environmental regulations, and cost. Reviewing the experimental works on this area and ...
متن کاملUsing phytoremediation technologies to upgrade waste water treatment in Europe.
GOAL, SCOPE AND BACKGROUND One of the burning problems of our industrial society is the high consumption of water and the high demand for clean drinking water. Numerous approaches have been taken to reduce water consumption, but in the long run it seems only possible to recycle waste water into high quality water. It seems timely to discuss alternative water remediation technologies that are fi...
