Upgrading wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with advanced technologies is one key
strategy to reduce micropollutant emissions. Given the complex chemical composition of …

Ozonation as final wastewater (WW) polishing step, following conventional activated sludge
treatment is increasingly implemented in sewage treatment for contaminant degradation to …

This study investigates the fate of trace organic chemicals (TrOCs) in three full-scale
reclamation plants using ozonation followed by biological activated carbon (BAC) filtration to …

Organic micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, estrogens or pesticides enter the
environment continuously through the effluent of municipal wastewater treatment plants …

Micropollutants present in the effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) after
biological treatment are largely eliminated by effective advanced technologies such as …

To reduce the discharge of trace organic compounds into water bodies associated with
potential toxic effects such as endocrine disruption, new advanced treatment methods are …

At a pilot scale wastewater treatment plant ozonation and powdered activated carbon
filtration were assessed for their efficacy to remove trace organic contaminants from …

Wastewater treatment plants do not eliminate micropollutants completely and are thus
important point sources for these substances. Ozonation and activated carbon treatment …

Bioassays show promise as a complementary approach to chemical analysis to assess the
efficacy of wastewater treatment processes as they can detect the mixture effects of all …

Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) effluents are primary sources of pathogenic
microorganisms and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) released into the aquatic …
