Drugs degrading photocatalytically: Kinetics and mechanisms of ofloxacin and atenolol removal on titania suspensions
(2010)
The conversion of the antibiotic ofloxacin and the ß-blocker atenolol by means of TiO2 photocatalysis was investigated. Irradiation was provided by a UVA lamp at 3.37×10-6einstein/s photon flux, while emphasis was given ...
On the capacity of ozonation to remove antimicrobial compounds, resistant bacteria and toxicity from urban wastewater effluents
(2017)
•Erythromycin and ethylparaben were rapidly eliminated within 2min at low O3 doses.•5 Transformation products (TPs) were identified retaining the ERY lactone ring.•EtP structural alterations took place at the ethyl ester ...
Investigating the fate of iodinated X-ray contrast media iohexol and diatrizoate during microbial degradation in an MBBR system treating urban wastewater
(2013)
The capability of a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) to remove the iodinated contrast media (ICM) iohexol (IOX) and diatrizoate (DTZ) from municipal wastewater was studied. A selected number of clones of microorganisms ...
Winery wastewater purification by reverse osmosis and oxidation of the concentrate by solar photo-Fenton
(2013)
•RO is considered quite efficient in purifying winery wastewater.•RO permeate fulfills the quality criteria to be used for irrigation purposes.•Toxicity and phytotoxicity of the permeate are substantially reduced by RO.•RO ...
