Control of emerging contaminants by the combination of electrochemical processes and membrane bioreactors

This study investigates the removal of selected pharmaceuticals, as recalcitrant organic compounds, from synthetic wastewater using an electro-membrane bioreactor (eMBR). Diclofenac (DCF), carbamazepine (CBZ), and amoxicillin (AMX) were selected as representative drugs from three different therapeutic groups such as anti-inflammatory, anti-epileptic, and antibiotic, respectively. An environmentally relevant concentration (10 μg/L) of each compound was spiked into… Continue reading Control of emerging contaminants by the combination of electrochemical processes and membrane bioreactors

Removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater by intermittent electrocoagulation

The continuous release of emerging contaminants (ECs) in the aquatic environment, as a result of the inadequate removal by conventional treatment methods, has prompted research to explore viable solutions to this rising global problem. One promising alternative is the use of electrochemical processes since they represent a simple and highly efficient technology with less footprint.… Continue reading Removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater by intermittent electrocoagulation
