Elimination of relevant pharmaceuticals in hospital wastewater from Colombia by combination of a biological system with a sonochemical process
(Corresponding) TORRES PALMA R., Serna-Galvis E., Silva-Agredo J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work presents the treatment of selected emerging concern pharmaceuticals in real hospital wastewater (HWW) from Tumaco-Colombia by combination of a biological system with a sonochemical process. Fifteen compounds, commonly present in HWW, were considered: acetaminophen, diclofenac,...Read more
Valorisation of polyolefins into magnetic carbon nanotubes: application as catalysts in wet peroxide oxidation of paracetamol
Sanches L., (Corresponding) dos Santos Silva A., Fontana Roman F., Diaz de Tuesta Triviño J., Alves da Silva F., Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work deals with the application of magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) in the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of paracetamol (PCM), a pharmaceutical compound selected as model contaminant of emerging concern (CEC). MCNTs were synthetized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) at...Read more
THE FATE OF MICROPLASTICS DURING THE ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OF THERMALLY PRETREATED SLUDGE
(Corresponding) Cesaro A., Pirozzi F., Zafirakou A., Alexandraki A.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in the water environment has raised as an issue of great concern, mainly due to their persistence and potential adverse effects on biota. Municipal wastewater treatment plants have been claimed among the most important point source of MPs. Nevertheless, they act...Read more
Effect of current density value and current application period on the wastewater treatment performance of Electrochemically Enhanced Self-Forming Dynamic Membrane Bioreactors (e-SFDMBRs)
(Corresponding) Almalvez J., Morales-Corpuz M., Borea L., Castrogiovanni F., Napodano P., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V., Ballesteros F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The use of membrane reactor in wastewater treatment gained interest for the past years due to its high-quality effluent. However, expensive membranes and high operational costs due to membrane fouling limit the wide application of this process. Research on fouling control by combining membrane use...Read more
Upgrading from biogas to biomethane is currently growing in Europe for economical and sustainable aspects. To date different treatments are proposed to upgrade biogas to a higher fuel standard. Among these, physico-chemical treatments are spreading widely in the biogas technology market...Read more
Preliminary Research on Removal of Organic Substances Contained in Wastewater from Plastic Lenses Production
(Corresponding) Umiejewska K., Różycki M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
More than 80 percent of all eyeglasses worn today have plastic lenses. Plastic lenses made of polycarbonate discs are created through the process of machining which requires the use of a coolant. During the production process, the rotating disc and blade are poured with a mixture of water and...Read more
Treatment and Reuse of Industrial Wastewater Using Reverse Osmosis System
(Corresponding) Ahmadzadeh-Kaleybar F., Emamifar M., Bagheri M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
From a few years ago, using reverse osmosis in water refinery and desalination, in order to provide clean water for necessary requirements has been considered as a common method. In the current study, the reverse osmosis, in the water refinery process of Miyaneh steel factory (northwest of Iran)...Read more
The role of microbiological community on organic micropollutants biotransformation in anoxic conditions
(Corresponding) Martinez-Quintela M., Balboa S., Suárez S., Omil F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Information about the biotransformation of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in biological systems is currently scarce, particularly in anoxic environments. A lab-scale reactor was set up to elucidate which is the biological mechanism driving OMPs biotransformation in heterotrophic denitrifying...Read more
Pilot scale investigation of an advanced photo-electro-chemical oxidation process for treatment of effluents from pesticides manufacturing plants
(Corresponding) Sarasidis V., Petsi P., Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This paper reports on the effectiveness of an innovative hybrid advanced oxidation process-scheme aiming to degrade recalcitrant organic compounds in industrial effluents. Following targeted experimental work, a pilot unit was developed/built combining two advanced oxidation processes, based on in-...Read more
Treatment of Leachate Wastewater with Fenton Process
(Corresponding) Çokay E., Eker S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Leachate wastewater produced from landfill areas contains high organic contents and heavy metals. Because of high concentration of organic materials and heavy metals, it can cause toxic effects on the environment. In addition, there is a possibility that leachate can reach to surface and ground...Read more
