Erythromycin oxidation and ERY-resistant Escherichia coli inactivation in urban wastewater by sulfate radical-based oxidation process under UV-C irradiation
(2015)
This study evaluates the feasibility of UV-C-driven advanced oxidation process induced by sulfate radicals (SO4-) in degrading erythromycin (ERY) in secondary treated wastewater. The results revealed that 10 mg L-1 of ...
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 ...
Photocatalytic (UV-A/TiO2) degradation of 17α-ethynylestradiol in environmental matrices: Experimental studies and artificial neural network modeling
(2012)
The efficiency of heterogeneous photocatalysis to degrade 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2), a synthetic estrogen hormone, in environmentally relevant samples was investigated. In most cases, UV-A radiation at a photon flux of ...
UV and simulated solar photodegradation of 17α-ethynylestradiol in secondary-treated wastewater by hydrogen peroxide or iron addition
(2015)
•EE2 degradation in wastewater under UVC or simulated solar light was studied.•The effect of several operating parameters on process efficiency was investigated.•Estrogenicity in wastewater matrices is not completely removed ...
Sonophotocatalytic treatment of ofloxacin in secondary treated effluent and elucidation of its transformation products
(2013)
The extent of the degradation of ofloxacin in secondary treated effluents by means of sonolysis, photocatalysis, sonocatalysis and their combined application, sonophotocatalysis, in order to investigate the potential ...
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 ...
