Article Synopsis
  • Conventional wastewater treatment plants struggle to fully eliminate emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical compounds, which may harm aquatic ecosystems.
  • An advanced bio-oxidation process (ABOP) utilizing white-rot fungi was tested and showed high efficiency in degrading 12 pharmaceutical contaminants, with five compounds eliminated by 80-95% and six by 50-70%.
  • The process not only effectively reduced organic and nutrient loads in the wastewater but also generated methane from fungal sludge, indicating its potential for sustainable wastewater treatment and energy recovery.
