Antibiotic amoxicillin degradation by electrochemical oxidation process: effects of process parameters and degradation pathway at environmentally relevant concentrations.

Amoxicillin (AMX) is a common antibiotic used in both human and veterinary medicine in order to both cure and avoid bacterial infections. Traces of AMX have been found in ground and surface water, urban effluents, water, and wastewater treatment facilities due to its widespread use. The level of hazard and disposal of this class of micropollutants is the reason for concern.

Field-scale decentralized domestic wastewater treatment system: Effect of dynamic loading conditions on the removal of organic carbon and nitrogen.

The field-scale decentralized wastewater treatment system (DWTS) was developed with an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and a newly configured hybrid constructed wetland (HCW) vegetated with Typha angustifolia and Canna indica to treat 42 kLd of domestic wastewater. Biorack baffled constructed wetland (BBCW) and baffled vertical flow constructed wetland (BVFCW) were used in the first and second stage of HCW respectively. DWTS was assessed for its efficiency to remove COD, BOD and TKN under high (varying flow and varying COD) and moderate (constant flow and varying COD) dynamic loading conditions.

Field-scale baffled and biorack hybrid constructed wetland: effect of fluctuating loading rates and recirculation for domestic wastewater treatment.

The conventionally used constructed wetlands require modification/s to minimize clogging problems and space requirement. In this study, a field-scale baffled and biorack hybrid constructed wetland (BBHCW) was developed as a part of 42 KLD decentralized wastewater treatment (DWT) system at Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli (M.S.
