Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants detected everywhere in the environment, with potential to harm living organisms. The present study investigated concentration, morphology, and composition of MPs, between 20 μm 5 mm, a drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) located close Barcelona (Catalonia, NE Spain). sampling included different units DWTP, from influent effluent as well sludge line. Sampling strategy, filtration, allows large volumes avoiding sample contamination, during 8 h...
A simple, fast, highly-sensitive and selective method for the simultaneous determination of 13 haloacetic acids dalapon in water was developed applied to evaluate two strategies control concentrations target analytes water.
Abstract Drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) face changes in raw quality, and needs to be adjusted produce the best quality at minimum environmental cost. An decision support system (EDSS) was developed for aiding DWTP operators choosing adequate permanganate dosing rate pre-oxidation step. To this end, multiple linear regression (MLR) multi-layer perceptron (MLP) models are compared predictive model. Besides, a case-based reasoning (CBR) model approached provide user with distribution...
Chlorination is a common method for water disinfection; however, it leads to the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs), which are undesirable toxic pollutants. To prevent their formation, crucial understand reactivity natural organic matter (NOM), considered dominant precursor DBPs. We propose novel size exclusion chromatography (SEC) approach evaluate NOM and potential total trihalomethanes-formation potentials (tTHMs-FP) four regulated species (i.e. CHCl3, CHBrCl2, CHBr2Cl, CHBr3)....
Microplastics (MPs) are defined as emerging pollutant ubiquitously detected in the natural environment, posing a threat to health of living organisms. The present study investigated concentration, morphology and composition MPs, between 20 μm 5 mm, drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) located close Barcelona (Catalonia, NE Spain). sampling included different units DWTP, from influent effluent well sludge line. pre-treatment samples consisted an advanced oxidation with Fenton’s reagent...
