Glutaraldehyde in Hospital Wastewater

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2002
Glutaraldehyde (GA) solutions are widely used in hospitals to disinfect reusable fiber-optic endoscopes. These solutions are dumped after use in the aquatic environment without any particular safety precautions. Taking into account the quantity of GA consumed daily and the released water volume, the predicted hospital wastewater concentration was ...

Hospital Wastewater Treatment

2022
Abstract The features of hospital wastewater (HWW) are identical to domestic wastewater in general, but a subset of HWW includes toxic, nonbiodegradable, infectious contaminants. The hospital effluents include a wide range of chemicals utilized in medical, laboratory, and study settings, as well as patient excreta.

Features of hospital wastewater treatment

Vodosnabzhenie i sanitarnaia tehnika, 2021
При высоких концентрациях азотных соединений и низком содержании органических веществ в сточных водах денитрификация протекает не в полной мере, что приводит к высокому содержанию нитратов в очищенной воде. Описан опыт применения дополнительного субстрата для обеспечения денитрифицируемого азота нитратов требуемым органическим веществом.

Characterization of bacterial resistance in treated hospital wastewater

Environmental Technology, 2022
This article seeks to characterize the bacterial profile of pediatric hospital wastewater samples collected at the outlet of a wastewater treatment plant, and to estimate their relative susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. A total of 64 strains were isolated in the wastewater samples, of which 49 were identified as belonging to different families ...

Ecotoxicity of Hospital Wastewater

2017
During the last 10 years, characterizing the ecotoxicity of hospital wastewater (HWW) has focused on different aspects. Initially, it mainly consisted in collecting information on ecotoxic substances used in hospitals (disinfectants, detergents, pharmaceuticals, etc.).

Disinfection of Hospital Wastewater by Continuous Ozonization

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2003
The disinfection of hospital wastewaters using the ozonization process was studied. The concentrations of ozone required to reach a sudden drop of coliform and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the wastewater are 4.0-7.0 and 3.0-5.0 mg L(-1), respectively. For the hospital wastewater, the disinfection efficiencies were 0.518S(-1.1) for coliforms, 0.509S(-1.06)

Glutaraldehyde degradation in hospital wastewater by photoozonation

Environmental Technology, 2013
In this paper, we assessed aqueous solutions of glutaraldehyde (GA), a chemical used for the disinfection of hospital materials, using advanced oxidative processes, O3, and UV, and the combination of the latter two. Assays with different ozone concentrations at distinct pH levels were conducted to determine the best treatment process. GA concentrations
