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 ...
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 ...

Direct simulation of the limiting flux: I. Interpretation of the experimental results
(2009)
Using a 2D fully coupled numerical model, the limiting flux phenomenon in the ultrafiltration of dextran was directly simulated assuming neither constant permeate velocity nor constant wall concentrations. It was found ...
