Removal of residual pharmaceuticals from aqueous systems by advanced oxidation processes
(2009)
Over the past few years, pharmaceuticals are considered as an emerging environmental problem due to their continuous input and persistence to the aquatic ecosystem even at low concentrations. Advanced oxidation processes ...
Effects of selective water withdrawal schemes on thermal stratification in Kouris Dam in Cyprus
(2008)
Thermal stratification and its seasonal variations in Kouris Dam in Cyprus were simulated, and the impact of five different water withdrawal schemes was studied, using the 2-D, laterally averaged CE-QUAL-W2 reservoir model. ...
Mineralisation of the antibiotic amoxicillin in pure and surface waters by artificial UVA- and sunlight-induced Fenton oxidation
(2009)
BACKGROUND: The degradation and mineralisation of the antibiotic amoxicillin by photo-Fenton reactions, mediated by artificial UVA or solar irradiation, were investigated. Experiments were conducted with 30 mg L−1 amoxicillin ...
Anaerobic co-digestion of potato processing wastewater with pig slurry and abattoir wastewater [electronic resource]
(2008)
BACKGROUND: Small-scale experimental investigations were carried out on the anaerobic digestion of potato processing wastewater and its co-digestion with pig slurry and/or abattoir wastewater. A simple and rapid procedure ...
Fate of pharmaceuticals in contaminated urban wastewater effluent under ultrasonic irradiation
(2009)
The application of sonolysis (US) for remediation of wastewater is an area of increasing interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ultrasonic (US) process on the degradation of pharmaceuticals (diclofenac (DCF), ...
