Treatment technologies for emerging contaminants in wastewater treatment plants: A review

Prangya R. Rout et al.

Summary: Emerging contaminants (ECs) are unregulated anthropogenic chemicals that persist in the environment and are considered contaminants of emerging environmental concerns. Major classes of ECs include pharmaceuticals and personal care products, surfactants, plasticizers, pesticides, fire retardants, and nanomaterials. In wastewater treatment plants, EC removal efficiency ranges from 20-50% in the primary treatment step, 30-70% in the secondary treatment step, and >90% in the tertiary treatment step.

Application-Scale Parametric Evaluation of Ultraviolet Photolysis (UV) and UV/H2O2 for the Degradation of Neutral Pharmaceuticals in Municipal Wastewaters

Jordan Hollman et al.

Summary: This study investigated the removal of pharmaceuticals from municipal wastewater using UV irradiation and UV/H2O2, finding that UV photolysis was compound specific. It was found that the addition of H2O2 provided little benefit over UV irradiation alone, with UV/H2O2 expected to be more effective in waters with higher concentrations of pharmaceuticals.

Constructed wetland, an eco-technology for wastewater treatment: A review on types of wastewater treated and components of the technology (macrophyte, biolfilm and substrate)

Sampriti Kataki et al.

Summary: Constructed wetland is an efficient eco-technological conglomerate that combines water security, energy possibility, and environmental protection. It is important to further explore the roles of individual wetland components, focusing on the effects of plants and biofilms, as well as the impact of alternative low-cost substrate materials on target pollutants.

A review of antiepileptic drugs: Part 1 occurrence, fate in aquatic environments and removal during different treatment technologies

Jesus Daniel Cardoso-Vera et al.

Summary: Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are increasingly used for indications beyond epilepsy treatment, leading to a global rise in their prescriptions and consumption. However, the removal efficiency of these drugs in wastewater treatment plants is low, posing a potential risk of groundwater contamination.

A critical review of advanced oxidation processes for emerging trace organic contaminant degradation: Mechanisms, factors, degradation products, and effluent toxicity

Arbab Tufail et al.

Summary: The persistent and low biodegradability of trace organic contaminants reduce their removal effectiveness in conventional wastewater treatments. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been extensively studied for degrading a wide range of TrOCs by producing reactive oxygen species. Factors such as concentration and nature of TrOCs, bulk wastewater characteristics, and dose of chemicals/catalysts used affect the degradation rates by different AOPs.

A review on occurrences, eco-toxic effects, and remediation of emerging contaminants from wastewater: Special emphasis on biological treatment based hybrid systems

Duduku Saidulu et al.

Summary: The presence of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment poses global concerns due to their harmful impacts on the biosphere. Efforts to remove these compounds from wastewater have become a significant focus in environmental management. Advanced biological systems coupled with physical and chemical processes are emerging as promising treatment options, especially in regions where concentrations of harmful compounds exceed safe levels.
