Comparison of the Advanced Oxidation Processes (UV, UV/H₂O₂ and O₃) for the Removal of Antibiotic Substances during Wastewater Treatment

摘要

The effectiveness of UV-based processes (UV and UV/H₂O₂) for the treatment of pharmaceuticals wastewater was investigated and compared with the effects of simple ozonation. Degradation of the studied antibiotic wastewater by direct photolysis indicated that, without application of additional factors, the process is not very effective, transferring the fate of antibiotics to the environment. For the studied antibiotic, wastewater ozonation was found to be the most effective among the three tested AOPs.View full textDownload full textKeywordsAdvanced oxidation processes, Wastewater, Pharmaceuticals, Photodegradation, UV light, OzoneRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01919512.2012.650130
