Removal of persistent polar pollutants through improved treatment of wastewater effluents (P-THREE)

摘要

The EU-project P-THREE started with the establishment of analytical methods for persistent polar pollutants (P~3) and quality assurance, followed by screening of P~3 in influents and effluents of known wastewater (WW) treatment plants (TP), receiving waters and tap water produced thereof in several European countries. A final selection of analytes for further studies has been performed. Model MBR reactors have been constructed and an optimisation on synthetic wastewater spiked with P~3 (linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS), naphthalene sulfonates) has been performed. An initial dynamic modelling of treatment processes has also started. Advanced oxidation process (AOP) treatment has been done in groundwater with isoproturon and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEO). The analysis of individual P~3 and potential degradation products was also performed. An integrated systeme analysis of the WW treatment processes has also been initiated.
