Ozonation against a diverse suite of antibiotic resistance determinants in wastewater
Iakovides I., Michael-Kordatou I., Karaolia P., Manoli K., Manaia C., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work aimed at investigating the impact of bench-scale ozonation, as tertiary treatment, on the removal and inactivation of selected antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes and toxicity from wastewaters effluents. The novelty of this study concerns the in-depth...Read more
To Regulate or Not to Regulate? What to Do With More Toxic Disinfection By-Products?
(Corresponding) Richardson S., Plewa M., Wagner E., Krasner S., Liberatore H., Jia A., Guo Y.
Topic:
Drinking water safety
Drinking water disinfection by-products (DBPs) are an unintended consequence of using chemical disinfectants to kill harmful pathogens in water. DBPs are formed by the reaction of disinfectants with naturally occurring organic matter, bromide, and iodide, as well as from anthropogenic pollutants,...Read more
APOC technology as an eco-innovative decentralized sanitation system for wastewater treatment and reuse facilities in the rural locality of Bent Saidane-NE Tunisia
(Corresponding) Chaabane S., Ghattassi A., Mensi K., M'hiri F., Plakas K.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS) in rural areas can be a smart alternative that helps communities to strengthen rural sanitation in improving clean water and sanitation management. To address these challenges, AquaCycle project, funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC MED...Read more

Peracetic acid disinfection: An effective way to reduce antibiotics resistant bacteria from raw hospital wastewater
(Corresponding) Chhetri R., Sanchez Urbina D., Lindholst S., Rickers C., Elkær T., Gade H., Skaarup J., Andersen H.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Risk of infection from antibiotic resistant bacteria from wastewater to the workers in the plant can be reduced by disinfecting wastewater. Peracetic acid (PAA) was used to disinfect the raw wastewater from hospital in pilot scale experiment. Batch experiment was conducted in parallel to confirm...Read more
