Microbial Biomass, Composition, and Functions Are Responsible for the Differential Removal of Trace Organic Chemicals in Biofiltration Systems: A Batch Study

Frontiers in Water, 2022
Biofiltration processes help to remove trace organic chemicals (TOrCs) both in wastewater and drinking water treatment systems. However, the detailed TOrCs biotransformation mechanisms as well as the underlying drivers behind the variability of site ...

Combined Nanofiltration and Thermocatalysis for the Simultaneous Degradation of Micropollutants, Fouling Mitigation and Water Purification

Membranes, 2021
Due to progressive limitation of access to clean drinkable water, it is nowadays a priority to find an effective method of water purification from those emerging organic contaminants, which might have potentially harmful and irreversible effects on ...

Quantitative Partitioning of Photoautotrophic and Photoheterotrophic Contributions During Mixotrophic Growth of Scenedesmus obliquus

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Carbon and oxygen fluxes during photoautotrophic, photoheterotrophic and mixotrophic growth of Scenedesmus obliquus. ABSTRACT Mixotrophic growth of microalgae involves the simultaneous assimilation of inorganic and organic carbon sources, but the quantitative contributions of photoautotrophic and photoheterotrophic metabolisms remain poorly resolved ...

A guidance for the enrichment of micropollutants from wastewater by solid-phase extraction before bioanalytical assessment

Environmental Sciences Europe
Background Wastewater can contain a complex mixture of organic micropollutants, with both chemical analysis and effect-based methods needed to identify relevant micropollutants and detect mixture effects.

Ultrafiltration/Granulated Active Carbon-Biofilter: Efficient Removal of a Broad Range of Micropollutants

Applied Sciences, 2019
Pharmaceutical residues, and other organic micropollutants that pass naturally through the human body into sewage, are in many cases unaffected by treatment processes at conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).

Monitoring of a Broad Set of Pharmaceuticals in Wastewaters by High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry and Evaluation of Heterogenous Catalytic Ozonation for Their Removal in a Pre-Industrial Level Unit

Analytica, 2022
The removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) occurring in wastewater effluents, such as pharmaceutically active substances (PhACs) and personal care products, pose a big research challenge since they can be a major source of pollution for water

Rapid and Reusable Amino Acid–Derived MOFs for the Removal of Estrogenic Hormones From Real Water Matrices

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A family of amino‐acid–derived MOFs enables ultrafast (>90–95% in 30 s) simultaneous removal of four estrogenic contaminants from water under SPE conditions. A leucine‐based MOF shows excellent regenerability and robustness in real samples, with structural evidence revealing efficient hormone encapsulation.
