Journal ArticleDOI
Separate estimation of adsorption and degradation of pharmaceutical substances and estrogens in the activated sludge process.
Taro Urase,Tomoya Kikuta +1 more
TL;DR: The removal of three estrogens such as 17beta-estradiol, two endocrine disruptors like bisphenol A, and 10 pharmaceutical substances like ibuprofen by activated sludge was experimentally examined and the contribution of adsorption and degradation to the overall removal was estimated separately and successfully.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insight into metabolic and cometabolic activities of autotrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms in the biodegradation of emerging trace organic contaminants.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge on the biodegradation of EOCs while having in-depth discussion on metabolism and cometabolism of E OCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retention of a wide variety of organic pollutants by different nanofiltration/reverse osmosis membranes: controlling parameters of process
TL;DR: In this article, a wide variety of organic pollutants including endocrine disrupting chemicals, plastic additives and low molecular weight priority pollutants from aqueous solutions by the use of many recent type nanofiltration (NF)/reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The characteristics of enriched nitrifier culture in the degradation of selected pharmaceutically active compounds.
TL;DR: It is suggested that nitrification can enhance the biotransformation of pharmaceutical substances through nitrification in the degradation of most pharmaceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Change in membrane performance due to organic fouling in nanofiltration (NF)/reverse osmosis (RO) applications
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fouling by organics on rejection was observed for the removal of 36 neutral trace plastic additives, endocrine disruptors and other organic contaminants, and the dominant removal mechanism is dependent on solute type but largely involving sieving, diffusion and other membrane solute interaction by polymer.
