Heterogeneous Fenton reaction is an advanced oxidation process which has gained wide
spread acceptance for higher removal efficiency of recalcitrant organic contaminants under …

This paper reviews the main advances in photo-Fenton oxidation treatment for recalcitrant
wastewaters. This oxidation method is able to produce biodegradable intermediates and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an unenviable part of aerobic life. Their steady-state
concentration is a balance between production and elimination providing certain steady …

Emerging contaminants (ECs) are chemicals of a synthetic origin or deriving from a natural
source that has recently been discovered and for which environmental or public health risks …

Ozonation and different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as photocatalytic
ozonation, photocatalytic oxidation and non-thermal dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) have …

In the aquatic environment, pharmaceuticals have been widely found. Among them,
carbamazepine and diclofenac were detected at the highest frequency. To evaluate the …

Low levels of human medicines (pharmaceuticals) have been detected in many countries in
sewage treatment plant (STP) effluents, surface waters, seawaters, groundwater and some …

The authors review the current data on the presence and reported biological effects in fish of
some of the most commonly detected pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment; namely …

Treated wastewater reuse for irrigation, landscape and surface or groundwater
replenishment purposes is being widely implemented. Although the reuse practice is …

Medicines have an important role in the treatment and prevention of disease in both humans
and animals. But it is because of the very nature of medicines that they may also have …
