Removal of contaminants of emerging concern from real wastewater by an innovative hybrid membrane process – UltraSound, Adsorption, and Membrane ultrafiltration (USAMe®)

The low-level presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) in the environment has raised a great concern due to their persistence, chronic toxicological, and endocrine disrupting effects on terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have become hotspots for the spread of these contaminants to the environment as conventional processes are not efficient in removing them.… Continue reading Removal of contaminants of emerging concern from real wastewater by an innovative hybrid membrane process – UltraSound, Adsorption, and Membrane ultrafiltration (USAMe®)

Degradation of diclofenac during sonolysis, ozonation and their simultaneous application

Diclofenac is a widely used anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drug that escapes conventional urban wastewater treatment trains because of its resistance to biodegradation. Therefore it is frequently found in treated effluents, lakes and rivers. It has been reported that diclofenac can exhibit adverse effects on aquatic organisms. Advanced oxidation processes like ozonation (O3) and sonolysis (US) can… Continue reading Degradation of diclofenac during sonolysis, ozonation and their simultaneous application
