Weemaes, M. published the artcileRemoval of micropollutants in WWTP effluent by biological assisted membrane carbon filtration (BioMAC), Recommanded Product: Diatrizoic Acid, the main research area is biol assisted membrane carbon filtration removing micropollutant wastewater treatment.
In the frame of the European FP6 project Neptune, a combination of biol. activated C with ultrafiltration (BioMAC) was studied for micropollutant, pathogen and ecotoxicity removal. One pilot scale set-up and 2 lab-scale set-ups, of which in one set-up the granular activated C (GAC) was replaced by sand, were followed up during a period of 11 mo. A combination of GAC and ultrafiltration led to an almost complete removal of antibiotics and a high removal (> 80%) of most of the studied acidic pharmaceuticals and iodinated contrast media. The duration of the tests did however not allow to conclude that the biol. activation was able to extend the lifetime of the GAC. Also, a significant decrease in estrogenic and anti-androgenic activity could be illustrated. The set-up in which GAC was replaced by sand showed a considerably lower removal efficiency for micropollutants, especially for antibiotics but no influence on steroid activity.
