    Abstract : The United Nations (UN) has adopted 17 “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) to achieve a clean, better and sustainable future. SDG 6 is to ensure that everyone has access to clean water and sanitation by 2030. READ MORE

  4. 2. Application of ozone in wastewater treatment : Oxidation of pharmaceuticals and filamentous bulking sludge

    Author : Filip Nilsson; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ozone; Filamentous Sludge; Pharmaceuticals; Wastewater Treatment; Ozone; Filamentous bulking sludge; Pharmaceutical reduction;

    Abstract : As pharmaceutical removal was not part of the of the modern wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) design, it is not surprising that WWTPs have been identified as major point sources of pharmaceuticals entering the environment. The oxidation of pharmaceuticals in the WWTP effluent is one of the-end-of-pipe solutions that are considered most ready for full-scale use. READ MORE

  5. 3. Removal of Micropollutants from Wastewater in Aerobic Granular Sludge and Activated Sludge Systems

    Author : Cecilia Burzio; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wastewater; Pharmaceuticals; Aerobic Granular Sludge; Microbial Community; Organic Micropollutants; Biofilm; Transformation; Sorption;

    Abstract : The presence of organic substances in the aquatic environment, such as pharmaceutically active compounds, antibiotics, and personal care products, has become a worldwide issue of increasing environmental concern. As they are present at nano- to microgram per liter concentrations, they are defined as organic micropollutants (OMPs). READ MORE

  6. 4. Adsorption and transformation of organic micropollutants in wastewater : New insights from 14C-labeling

    Author : Alexander Betsholtz; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; activated carbon; ozonation; Organic micropollutants; pharmaceuticals; wastewater; transformation products; biological degradation; GAC-filters; adsorption; 14C-labeling;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the removal of organic micropollutants and transformation products using ozone and activated carbon treatment processes. A combination of 14C-labeled and non-radiolabeled organic micropollutants was used to study aspects of micropollutant removal from novel perspectives. READ MORE

  7. 5. Ozonation in Advanced Wastewater Treatment : Practical Aspects and Development of a Prediction Tool for Pharmaceutical Removal

    Author : Rubén Juárez; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ozonation; wastewater; suspended solids; pharmaceuticals; bromate;

    Abstract : Pharmaceuticals that are not completely metabolized in the human body are excreted in wastewater and may find their way into surface waters, where they can have harmful effects on aquatic fauna and flora. The implementation of ozonation at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals discharged to the environment. READ MORE
