Contaminants of emergent concern (CECs) in aquatic ecosystems entail a potential risk for the environment, due to their persistent behavior and adverse effect on living organisms during long-term exposition, even at residual concentrations. Conventional Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are not designed eliminate CECs properly because treatment technologies enough remove these contaminants, which generates environmental technological challenges. In this review, sources CEC contaminants...
A tubular porous stainless steel membrane contactor was characterized in terms of ozone-water mass transport, as well its application removing 23 pharmaceuticals (PhACs) detected the secondary-treated municipal wastewater, under continuous mode operation. The volumetric transfer coefficient (KLa) evaluated based on liquid flow rate, gas and ozone concentration. KLa values were substantially improved with an increment rate (1.6 times from 30 to 70 dm3 h−1) (3.6 0.30 0.85 Ndm3 min−1) due...
