Performance of a Pilot-Scale Continuous Flow Ozone-Based Hospital Wastewater Treatment System

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is becoming a global concern. Recently, research has emerged to evaluate the human and environmental health implications of wastewater from medical facilities and to identify acceptable wastewater treatment methods. In this

Effect of pH on ciprofloxacin ozonation in hospital WWTP effluent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A bubble column was used for ozonation of the quinolone antibiotic ciprofloxacin and the effect of pH was tested. Degradation at pH 7 increased the ciprofloxacin half life time to 29.1 min compared to pH 3 (26.8 min) and pH 10 (18.7 min), possibly due to

HOSPITAL WASTEWATER CARRYOVER ECOTOXICITY: A MULTI-TAXA ASSAY

open access: yes, 2021
Carryover toxicity (CT) goes uneliminated or is added by a technology. Current and emerging wastewater technologies are not being tested for CT. A new test based on four (EPA-OECD harmonized) bioassays was probed here on hospital wastewater (HWW) using three wastewater technologies.

Enhanced Photocatalytic Wastewater Purification and Bacterial Elimination via Copper Ion Irradiation‐Induced Modification of BiOCl

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a copper ion irradiation method to achieve the modification function of BiOCl. By using high‐energy ion beams to introduce impurity ions inside the material, the intrinsic electric field of BiOCl is optimized, promoting the separation of photogenerated carriers and enhancing the photocatalytic activity.
