TLDR
A group of 33 organic compounds, mainly pharmaceuticals and some relevant metabolites present in the wastewater effluents, were evaluated before and after the ozonation process using a liquid chromatography-hybrid triple-quadrupole linear ion trap system and it is demonstrated that the oz onation degrades these compounds with efficiencies of over 99% in most cases.About:

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioassays as a tool for evaluating advanced oxidation processes in water and wastewater treatment.
TL;DR: The main conclusions/remarks include the fact that bioassays are a really useful tool to evaluate the dangerousness of AOPs as well as to set up the proper operative conditions and some toxicity tests may be not useful to evaluate biodegradability potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced Oxidation Processes for the Removal of Antibiotics from Water. An Overview
TL;DR: In this article, the main challenges and prospects of advanced oxidation processes for the removal of antibiotics from wastewaters are pointed out, as well as some recommendations for the improvement of AOPs aimed at removing antibiotics from water.
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.

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
Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for water purification and recovery
TL;DR: In this article, different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are considered and critically presented according to their specific features with reference, whenever possible, to their real applications for water pollution abatement.

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.
