Removal efficiencies for 52 pesticides and pharmaceuticals from wastewater effluent by coupling solar heterogeneous photo-oxidation with TiO and infiltration in saturated soil column.

Water resource management has become a hot button issue in recent decades. Countries facing water shortages as a result to climate change must adapt their water supply. The reuse of wastewater treatment plant effluents is becoming increasingly common around the world.

Continuous degradation of micropollutants in real world treated wastewaters by photooxidation in dynamic conditions.

Wastewater is a major issue for the ecosystem because of its considerable quantities, the treatment methods adopted in the large majority of WWTPs, and its level of contamination by various types of pollutants, especially emerging ones. One of the solutions considered to reduce this pressure on water is the reuse of wastewater after treatment for watering green areas, road cleaning, industry, groundwater recharge but also for crop irrigation. This paper proposes to study the capabilities of a photoreactor for the removal of micropollutants contained in wastewater from wastewater treatment plants.

Assessment of the occurrence of 455 pharmaceutical compounds in sludge according to their physical and chemical properties: A review.

Sludge agronomical reuse is of major interest due to the beneficial contribution of nutrients. However, it implies the introduction of unregulated pharmaceuticals into amended-soils and creates a controversial issue about sludge management. To limit their dissemination, it is essential to identify the compounds of interest and understand their attenuation mechanisms through the sludge processes.
