  3. 12. Investigation into the Removal of the By-product NDMA (N-Nitrosodimethylamine) from Ozonation Process in Wastewater Treatment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Zehao Li; [2021]
    Keywords : Water resources engineering; Ozonation; NDMA; Wastewater; pharmaceutical; Diclofenac; Ibuprofen; Naproxen; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In people’s modern life, daily usage of artificial compounds such as active pharmaceuticals ingredients (API) is usual. These compounds are likely to end up as micropollutants in the municipal wastewater. Municipal wastewater is the major source of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment. READ MORE

  4. 13. GAC filter Design Criteria for Wastewater Treatment for Removal of Organic Micropollutants – A Literature Review

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Bhargav Reddy Elavarthi; [2021]
    Keywords : micropollutants; activated carbon filtration; empty bed contact time EBCT ; pharmaceuticals; breakthrough curves; adsorption; PFOS; carbon use; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is nowadays suggested as a fourth (quaternary) treatment step at municipal wastewater treatment plants to remove certain chemicals and particularly organic micropollutants (OMPs). This work investigated the different factors that affect the performance of the GAC filter for the removal of micropollutants in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. READ MORE
