Solar photocatalytic treatment of trimethoprim in four environmental matrices at a pilot scale: Transformation products and ecotoxicity evaluation
(2012)
The pilot-scale solar degradation of trimethoprim (TMP) in different water matrices (demineralized water: DW, simulated natural freshwater: SW
Assessment of long-term wastewater irrigation impacts on the soil geochemical properties and the bioaccumulation of heavy metals to the agricultural products
(2014)
An extensive field survey was employed for assessing the impacts of long-term wastewater irrigation of forage crops and orange orchards in three suburban agricultural areas in Cyprus (areas I, II, and III), as compared to ...
Solar Fenton and solar TiO2 catalytic treatment of ofloxacin in secondary treated effluents: Evaluation of operational and kinetic parameters
(2010)
Two different technical approaches based on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), solar Fenton homogeneous photocatalysis (hv/Fe2+/H2O2) and heterogeneous photocatalysis with titanium dioxide (TiO2) suspensions were studied ...
Biodegradation potential of ofloxacin and its resulting transformation products during photolytic and photocatalytic treatment
(2013)
The release of pharmaceuticals in the environment, as parent compounds, metabolites and transformation products, and the consequent risks posed to living organisms due to the unintended exposure of the latter to these ...
Solar-induced heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of methyl-paraben
(2015)
•The benchmark UV-activated Aeroxide TiO2 P-25 exhibited high efficacy.•Superoxide radicals (O2−) were the dominant reactive species.•H2O2 addition was detrimental to process efficiency.•Initial pH and substrate concentration ...
Long-term wastewater irrigation of vegetables in real agricultural systems: Concentration of pharmaceuticals in soil, uptake and bioaccumulation in tomato fruits and human health risk assessment
(2017)
Wastewater (WW) reuse for vegetable crops irrigation is regularly applied worldwide. Such a practice has been found to allow the uptake of pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) by plants and their subsequent entrance to ...
Impact assessment of the reuse of two discrete treated wastewaters for the irrigation of tomato crop on the soil geochemical properties, fruit safety and crop productivity
(2014)
•Treated wastewater from two tertiary treatment technologies was applied for irrigation.•Wastewater irrigation did not significantly impact soil heavy metal content.•Heavy metals in tomato fruits were within the safe limits ...
