This paper summarizes the findings of a pre-design feasibility analysis assessing the restoration of significant portions of wetlands in southeast Louisiana by providing nutrients through the introduction of treated municipal wastewater effluent. Wetlands assimilation is a process whereby properly treated and disinfected municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent is used to provide a source ...

The UV/chlorine process as a potential tertiary municipal wastewater treatment alternative for removing refractory PPCPs has been widely investigated. However, the role of effluent organic matter (EfOM) on radical chemistry and toxicity alteration is unclear. elimination two model PPCPs, primidone (PRM) caffeine (CAF), by co-exposure UV free chlorine was investigated to elucidate impact EfOM. E...

There is a current concern, among the scientific community, on pollutants classified as “persistent organic (POPs)”. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) belong to this family of contaminants; therefore, it necessary find more efficient techniques able achieve their removal from environment. This study focuses two different pharmaceuticals: carbamazepine atenolol, chosen for wides...
