TLDR
The results showed that paraxanthine, caffeine and acetaminophen were the main individual pollutants usually found in concentrations over 20 ppb, and the hydroxyl radical reaction was the major pathway for the oxidative transformation of these compounds.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Application of ozonation for pharmaceuticals and personal care products removal from water.
TL;DR: This paper aims to review the studies dealing with ozone based processes for water reuse by considering municipal wastewater reclamation as well as natural and drinking water treatment, and identifies the most interesting cost effective methodology for water treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lessons learned from more than two decades of research on emerging contaminants in the environment
TL;DR: This introductory paper for the Virtual Thematic Issue on Emerging Contaminants presents a brief literature overview on key research milestones in the area of emerging contaminants, focusing on pharmaceuticals and personal care products and endocrine disrupting compounds, and highlighting selected research papers previously published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials during the period of January 2012 to December 2015.
Journal ArticleDOI
How efficient are constructed wetlands in removing pharmaceuticals from untreated and treated urban wastewaters? A review
Paola Verlicchi,Elena Zambello +1 more
TL;DR: This review presents and discusses the data from 47 peer-reviewed journal articles on the occurrence of 137 pharmaceutical compounds in the effluent from various types of constructed wetlands treating urban wastewater to identify the type of constructed wetland that best removes those most frequently detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of pharmaceuticals in a municipal wastewater treatment plant: mass balance and removal processes
TL;DR: Based on the mass balance analysis, biotransformation is believed to be the predominant process responsible for the removal of pharmaceuticals, whereas contribution of sorption to sludge was relatively insignificant for the investigated pharmaceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of solar AOPs and ozonation for elimination of micropollutants in municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents
TL;DR: Different advanced technologies: solar heterogeneous photocatalysis with TiO(2), solar photo-Fenton and ozonation, are studied as tertiary treatments for the remediation of micropollutants present in real municipal wastewater treatment plants effluents at pilot plant scale.

Occurrence, fate and effects of pharmaceutical substances in the environment- A review
Bent Halling-Sørensen,S. Nors Nielsen,P.F. Lanzky,Flemming Ingerslev,Hans-Christian Holten Lützhøft,S.E. Jørgensen +5 more
TL;DR: Present knowledge does not reveal if regular therapeutic use may be the source of a substance carried by sewage effluent into the aquatic system, even though clofibrate, a lipid lowering agent, has been identified in ground and tap water samples from Berlin.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of imperative technologies for wastewater treatment I: oxidation technologies at ambient conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight five different oxidation processes operating at ambient conditions viz. cavitation, photocatalytic oxidation, Fenton's chemistry, ozonation, and use of hydrogen peroxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation of pharmaceuticals during ozonation and advanced oxidation processes
TL;DR: It could be shown that the second-order rate constants determined in pure aqueous solution could be applied to predict the behavior of pharmaceuticals dissolved in natural waters.
