Article Synopsis
- Domestic laundry wastewater significantly increases microfiber and surfactant pollution in aquatic ecosystems, posing risks to human health and the environment.
- The study investigates powdered activated carbon (PAC) as a method to remove micro-/nanofibers and surfactants from laundry effluent, finding that PAC adsorption follows a pseudo-second-order process with varying isotherm models based on water type.
- Initial results indicate that PAC is effective at removing contaminants, especially in tap water, suggesting its potential for improving eco-friendly laundry practices.
The objective of this study was the experimental evaluation of ozonation as an additional treatment step for the removal emerging contaminants from secondary effluents of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), one receiving a primarily domestic wastewater (WWTP-A), and the other one domestic sewage together with pretreated tannery wastewater streams (WWTP-B). The experimental runs were conducted at two different pH values (i.e.
