Activated carbon-polyethyleneimine-alginate composite fiber for scavenging pharmaceuticals with different charges from aqueous solutions
Dangi Y., Choi J., Lim C., Song M., Han M., Lin X., (Corresponding) Yun Y.
Topic:
Water treatment
Activated carbon (AC) is a potential adsorbent for water purification, though it is difficult to separate after use. To solve this problem, for the first time, the ternary composite fiber (ACPEIA) of AC, polyethyleneimine (PEI), and alginate (A) was fabricated as a multifunctional adsorbent for...Read more
Suspected-target screening for the assessment of pollutants in sewage sludge and assessment of their environmental risk
(Corresponding) Álvarez-Ruiz R., Cuñat A., Picó Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Wastewater generated by human activities contains different organic pollutants from anthropogenic origin. During its depuration in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) sewage sludge is generated, which also contains these pollutants. While water influents and effluents of WWTPs are widely...Read more
Presence and removal of Organic Micropollutants in 8 different Wastewater Treatment Plants and Risk Assessment of treated effluent
(Corresponding) Di Marcantonio C., Chiavola A., Meccoli L., Leoni S., Calchetti T., Gioia V., Mancini M., Frugis A., Cecchini G., Ceci C., Spizzirri M., Boni M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Increasing attention has been paid in the recent years to the presence of Organic MicroPollutants (OMPs) in water, being considered a source of a high risk for public health and environment (Rodriguez-Narvaez et al., 2017). The present study belongs to a wide research activity carried out since...Read more
Heterogeneous activation of persulfate by LaSrNiGaO3
Kouvelis K., Petala A., Bampos G., (Corresponding) Frontistis Z., Kondarides D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In recent years, scientists in the field of environmental management and protection, have not only detected but also quantified a large number of pharmaceuticals in treated wastewater, surface and groundwater. In order to address this problem, intensive research is carried out to develop effective...Read more
Application of solar photo-Fenton oxidation coupled with granular activated carbon as a viable option for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern in the urban wastewater of India
Karaolia P., Korelidou A., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
It has been estimated that approximately 62 billion litres of sewage are generated every day in India, with only 37% of sewage being treated (Saxena et al., 2021). Wastewater treatment issues such as dysfunctional UWTPs with many of them operating at low service levels compared to the design...Read more
EXTRACTION AND DETERMINATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUNDS ADSORBED INTO MICROPLASTICS
Santana-Viera S., Montesdecoa-Esponda S., Torres-Padrón M., (Corresponding) Sosa-Ferrera Z., Santana-Rodríguez J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Microplastics (MPs) are pollutants of emerging concern. These small particles are found throughout the world. Its best-known negative effects are that they can confuse marine organisms that would feed on them, or block their airways. In addition, they have been shown to act as vectors of...Read more
Cometabolic biotransformation of organic micropollutants under aerobic heterotrophic conditions
(Corresponding) Kennes-Veiga D., Vogler B., Fenner K., Carballa M., Lema J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The role that heterotrophs present in activated sludge play in the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) has not been clearly elucidated despite their increasing relevance in the conception of novel wastewater treatment plant technologies. OMPs are often present in wastewaters at concentrations...Read more
Toxicity, uptake, and biotransformation assessment of zebrafish embryos exposed to tetracaine, under different pH values, utilizing embryotoxicity and LC-HRMS
Damalas D., Panagopoulou E., Aleiferi E., Tzepkinli V., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Kuttler J., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The contamination of the aquatic environment has raised concerns in the scientific community and regulatory authorities, over the last decades. Given the large number of xenobiotics (such as pharmaceuticals), for most of them there is a striking deficit in the literature concerning their adverse...Read more
Selection of bacterial strains to bioaugment granular sludge and improve the removal of recalcitrant pollutants
(Corresponding) Carlier J., Lara-Moreno A., Ngonyani A., Martins A., Villagomez A., Igbodo B., Cox C., Ismail F., Marín-Beltrán I., Palma T., Costa M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Several advantages are gained by the use of granular sludge in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), such as higher biomass retention, faster settling properties, lower energy costs and smaller operational land space. However, relatively few studies have been carried out on the biodegradation of...Read more
Ecotoxicological impacts of pharmaceuticals on marine biota: A Systematic Review
(Corresponding) VAGI M., NTATSI N., PETSAS A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Abstract Pharmaceuticals are a wide class of chemicals used for human and veterinary purposes. As many other anthropogenic organic substances, they can be introduced into various aquatic ecosystems including marine and coastal waters via accidental incidents or spatial sources. Consequently, a...Read more
