This paper focuses on the investigation of different types SPE sorbents for preconcentration eight veterinary pharmaceuticals from water samples. The studied were sulfamethazine, sulfadiazine, sulfaguanidine, trimethoprim, oxytetracycline, enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and penicillin G/procaine. Five materials (Strata-X, Strata-X-C, Strata SDB-L, C8 C18) Phenomenex compared with Oasis HLB a view to obtaining best cartridges all investigated. Extraction efficiency was determined by HPLC diode...
Landfill leachate from Jakuševec, Zagreb, Croatia was treated by membrane processes of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO). Different types membranes were selected to obtain the parameters contaminants below maximum concentration levels (MCLs), defined Croatian law EU directive. As a pretreatment landfill leachate, coagulation filtration used. Parameters total carbon, organic carbon (TOC), inorganic chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, turbidity, conductivity, different ions, heavy...
ABSTRACT This article examines the adsorption of pharmaceuticals on reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes. The membranes were characterized in terms Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) spectra, surface charge, hydrophobicity, pore size distribution, roughness. Five used to determine their rejection possible interactions with Albendazole, a hydrophobic pharmaceutical, adsorbed NF (NF270) RO (XLE) FTIR spectra showed significant changes (new peaks/bonds) membranes,...
The production of pharmaceuticals has increased rapidly during the last several decades as they have been used for health both humans and animals. Routes environmental exposure include release treated wastewater, land disposal livestock manures municipal biosolids (i.e. sewage sludge), well use medicated aquaculture feed. This study deals with application reverse osmosis (RO) nanofiltration (NF) membranes removing antibiotic residues (sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin,...
Abstract In this paper high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array UV detection (HPLC/DAD) after SPE sample pretreatment for simultaneous analysis of pharmaceuticals from three different classes: enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline and trimethoprim, has been developed, optimised validated. The chromatographic separation was developed on spiked wellspring water samples checked model wastewater veterinary before RO/NF membrane treatment (feed permeate streams) process wastewaters...
Pharmaceuticals are present in various waters and can be almost completely rejected by membrane separation processes, i.e., nanofiltration (NF) reverse osmosis (RO). Nevertheless, the adsorption of pharmaceuticals decrease their rejection, so considered a very important removal mechanism. In order to increase lifetime membranes, adsorbed must cleaned from membrane. The used pharmaceutical (albendazole), most common anthelmintic for threatening worms, has been shown adsorb (solute-membrane...
