Hofman-Caris, C. H. M. published the artcileRemoval of pharmaceuticals from WWTP effluent: Removal of EfOM followed by advanced oxidation, Safety of Diatrizoic Acid, the main research area is pharmaceutical WWTP effluent EfOM oxidation.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) throughout the Netherlands contain significant concentrations of pharmaceuticals (25-65 μg/L) and about 10-20 mg C/L dissolved non-biodegradable organic matter. By IEX mainly the humic acid fraction of the effluent organic matter can be removed, whereas O3/biofiltration mainly removes the hydrophobic fraction. For the first time the combination of these processes with O3/H2O2, UV/H2O2 or UV/O3 was tested for the removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater effluent. Based on initial laboratory experiments, a pilot installation was built in which IEX followed by UV/H2O2 was applied to real WWTP effluent. The process appeared to be very robust, and able to remove a very broad range of different pharmaceuticals. The addnl. costs for this treatment are estimated at approx. euro0.34/m3-treated effluent, which is in the same order of magnitude as estimated for other addnl., but less versatile, treatment processes.
Chemical Engineering Journal (Amsterdam, Netherlands) published new progress about Biofiltration. 117-96-4 belongs to class isoquinoline, name is Diatrizoic Acid, and the molecular formula is C11H9I3N2O4, Safety of Diatrizoic Acid.
