TLDR
Amending activated sludge with additional microorganisms able to produce versatile enzymes to enhance biodegradability or “bioaugmentation”, is gradually considered as a possible solution for the recalcitrance of Bio-Refractory Organic Compounds (Bio-ROCs).About:

Bioaugmentation as a strategy for the remediation of pesticide-polluted soil: A review.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the microbial degradation of the most common pesticides that have been used for many years such as organochlorinated and organophosphorus pesticides, triazines, pyrethroids, carbamate, chloroacetamide, benzimidazole and derivatives of phenoxyacetic acid.

Biodegradation of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons under anaerobic conditions: Overview of studies, proposed pathways and future perspectives.
TL;DR: This manuscript reviews studies of the anaerobic biodegradation of HMW-PAHs and identifies gaps that limit both the understanding and the efficiency of this biodegrades process.

Bioaugmentation: An Emerging Strategy of Industrial Wastewater Treatment for Reuse and Discharge.
TL;DR: In this review, work on the bioaugmentation in the context of removal of important pollutants from industrial wastewater is summarized, with an emphasis on recalcitrant compounds, and strategies that can be used to improve the efficiency of bioAUgmentation are discussed.

Biodegradation of dairy effluent by using microbial isolates obtained from activated sludge
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the biodegradation of dairy effluent by using selected aerobic microbial isolates and a model having layers of sawdust and activated charcoal as filtering media.

Occurrence of drugs in German sewage treatment plants and rivers
TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of 32 drug residues belonging to different medicinal classes like antiphlogistics, lipid regulators, psychiatric drugs, antiepileptic drugs, betablockers and β 2 -sympathomimetics as well as five metabolites has been investigated in German municipal sewage treatment plant (STP) discharges, river and stream waters.

Water Analysis: Emerging Contaminants and Current Issues
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of residual pharmaceuticals from aqueous systems by advanced oxidation processes.
TL;DR: The effectiveness of various AOPs for pharmaceutical removal from aqueous systems is assessed, including water and wastewater treatment, air pollution abatement and soil remediation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative transformation of micropollutants during municipal wastewater treatment: Comparison of kinetic aspects of selective (chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ferrateVI, and ozone) and non-selective oxidants (hydroxyl radical)
TL;DR: For a given oxidant dose, the selective oxidants were more efficient than hydroxyl radicals for transforming ERMs-containing micropollutants, while hydroxy radicals are capable of transforming micropolutants even without ERMs.
