Presence of Emerging Contaminants, Priority Substances and Heavy Metals in Treated Wastewater and Groundwater in the Llobregat
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Initial sampling results of emerging contaminants at the Llobregat delta deep aquifer (Barcelona, Spain) are presented. Among micro contaminants selected are 82 pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, lipid regulation agents, analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs, etc), 18 personal care products (sunscreen agents, preservatives and disinfectants/antiseptics), 4 metals, 44 pesticides, 6 volatile priority pollutants, 16 PAHS and dioxins. Monitoring programme consisted on periodical water sampling from municipal wastewater tertiary treatment plant (WWTP), tertiary water with additional treatment being injected in the aquifer and from the aquifer. With regard to the emerging contaminants, the applied treatment has demonstrated its effectiveness for the removal of this type of microcontaminants

Temporal Evolution of Emerging Contaminants, Priority Substances and Heavy Metals Most Frequently Detected in Reclaimed Water and Groundwater in a Volcanic Aquifer
EXTENDED ABSTRACT The presence of emerging contaminants has been previously described in reclaimed water and groundwater of Gran Canaria (Spain). Despite of the environmental risk associated to irrigation with reclaimed water (R), this practice is necessary considering sustainability of the hydrological cycle in semiarid zones, especially regarding agricultural activity. The aim of this study w...

Background and Objective: Irrigation of agricultural lands with treated wastewater in the main part of the Varamin plain, the highly populated urban areas of the middle part of the plain, and the presence of industries have increased the actual risk of heavy metal contamination of groundwater. Therefore, the concentrations of heavy metals were investigated in this study in order to assess the r...
متن کاملRemoval of heavy metals and hardness from groundwater via electro-coagulation method
Groundwater makes up an important part of global freshwater resources, though it is often threatened by overuse of natural resources along with abundant production of wastes in modern society. This study aims to investigate the removal of three heavy metals including nickel, cadmium, and lead from groundwater via electrocoagulation, a suitable method for treatment of water-soluble compounds, de...

متن کاملApplication of Humate – Sustainable Alternative for Remediation of Wastewater and Groundwater
This paper presents results of studies on an effect of humate (HS) on chemical (Fenton) and biological treatment of wastewater with high content of organic compounds and heavy metals. All studies focused on practical applications of HS, allowing reducing the concentration of the contaminants of concern before their discharge to the natural water bodies (or to the ground). Laboratory tests showe...
