The increasing occurrence of pharmaceuticals in wastewater poses environmental and health risks. This study focuses on developing evaluating cost-effective carbon sorbents, specifically biochar graphitic nitride, for efficiently removing pharmaceutical contaminants from 2023 samples a treatment plant serving around 300,000 people. adsorptive capabilities these materials were evaluated using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) the quantification their metabolites....

This study investigates the potential contamination of cash register employees in Slovak Republic with 148 selected pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, and their metabolites. Of these, 42 substances were detected, it was found that target group—cashiers—regularly handle large volumes banknotes, increasing exposure to contaminants compared general population. revealed commonly prescribed over-the-counter medications significantly contribute registers. cashiers exhibited notably higher detection...
Improper and insufficient treatment of infectious hospital wastewater could seriously endanger public health the environment. Ferrate(VI), a strong oxidizing, disinfecting, coagulating agent, has potential as green solution for decontamination water wastewater. In this paper, electrochemically prepared potassium ferrate (K2 FeO4 ) with high purity was successfully encapsulated applied to contaminated by SARS-CoV-2. Natural zeolite chosen an appropriate ecological material encapsulation. The...
The escalating presence of pharmaceutical compounds and drugs in wastewater presents an environmental challenge, with potential ramifications for both ecosystems human health. This investigation concentrates on the formulation assessment economical carbon-based sorbents, notably biochar graphitic carbon nitride, targeting effective extraction residues from specimens obtained 2023 a treatment facility servicing city approximate population 300,000 individuals. adsorptive capabilities these...
Addition of external organic carbon source for denitrification is generally used in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to intensify nitrogen removal processes. The aim the laboratory survey was measure composition concentrated industrial wastewater, determine possibilities its use as an substrate, and assess overall impact on WWTP. obtained results demonstrate that analysed biodegradable, can be a substrate without special adaptation biomass. rates with tested were range 1.6 1.9 mgN/g·h....
Abstract Undissociated HNO 2 (up to mg dm −3 ) was confirmed as substrate inhibitor for granular biomass from a denitritation upflow sludge bed reactor used biological removal of nitrite. On the contrary, total nitrite nitrogen (N-NO up 500 and methanol (COD 2000 were not proven be inhibitors. pH also affected efficiency (optimal 5.9). Reduction concentration in by effluent recycling is recommended.
