Degradation kinetics and mechanism of β-lactam antibiotics by the activation of H2O2 and Na2S2O8 under UV-254nm irradiation
(2014)
The extensive production and usage of antibiotics have led to an increasing occurrence of antibiotic residuals in various aquatic compartments, presenting a significant threat to both ecosystem and human health. This study ...
Development of a multi-function software decision support tool for the promotion of the safe reuse of treated urban wastewater
(2007)
Decision-making in environmental projects can be complex principally due to the inherent existence of trade-offsbetween socio-political, environmental and economic factors. This is why the MEDAWARE project which is anEU ...
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 ...
Environmental side effects of pharmaceutical cocktails: what we know and what we should know
(2014)
Cocktails of pharmaceuticals are released in the environment after human consumption and due to the incomplete removal at the wastewater treatment plants. Pharmaceuticals are considered as contaminants of emerging concern ...
