This is the first study dealing with removal of pharmaceutical substances in municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWWTPs) from Peru and impact these compounds surface waters receiving treated wastewater. To this aim, samples MWWTP Lima (Peruvian Coast), Cusco, Puno Juliaca Highlands), as well water (confluence Torococha Coata rivers Juliaca) were analyzed. A total 38 target pharmaceuticals included determined by Liquid Chromatography coupled to tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Around...
Bisphenol A (BPA), an organic compound largely used in the plastic industry as a monomer for production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate, is emerging contaminant that released environment from bottles packaging. BPA degradation (118 μmol L-1) under sonochemical conditions was investigated this study, using 300 kHz frequency, with 80 W electrical power. Under these conditions, eliminated by ultrasound process (∼90 min). However, even after long irradiation periods (10 h), more than 50%...
This work studies the sonochemical degradation of a penicillinic antibiotic (oxacillin) in simulated pharmaceutical wastewater. High frequency ultrasound was applied to water containing combined with mannitol or calcium carbonate. In presence additives, oxacillin efficiently removed through action. For comparative purposes, photo-Fenton, TiO2 photocatalysis and electrochemical oxidation processes were also tested. Therefore, evolution its associated antimicrobial activity (AA) monitored. A...
