Effect of advanced oxidation processes on nonylphenol removal with respect to chlorination in drinking water treatment

Any nonylphenol compounds found in water have to be removed since they are endocrine disruptors. In this study, natural water from the river Ebro fortified with nonylphenol compounds (4n-nonylphenol and technical nonylphenol) is used as a sample in order to simulate a real situation in drinking water treatment plants. The aim is to compare conventional disinfection with advanced oxidation ...

Chemical and toxicological evaluation of transformation products during advanced oxidation processes

The entry of pharmaceuticals into the water cycle from sewage treatment plants is of growing concern because environmental effects are evident at trace levels. Ozonation, UV- and UV/H2O2-treatment were tested as an additional step in waste water treatment because they have been proven to be effective in eliminating aqueous organic contaminants. The pharmaceuticals carbamazepine, ...

Determination of the ultrasonic effectiveness in advanced wastewater treatment

Biological treatment is the most commonly applied method for treatment of wastewaters. However, biological treatment can be inhibited by bacteriotoxic or persistent pollutants present in wastewater (Lifka et at., 2003). As a result, this technology may be incapable of reducing the levels of contaminants below which they are not considered as a potential threat to public health. Therefore, new ...
