Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) degradation and microbial characteristics of low-temperature operation combined with constructed wetlands
“…1 This class of contaminants has become widespread in the environment since traditional water treatment methods fail to adequately remove them due to their toxicity and recalcitrance. 2,3 A typical PPCP, acetaminophen (ACT), is one of the analgesic and antipyretic drugs used worldwide. 4 The widespread use and incomplete metabolism of ACT have led to massive discharges into the environment, resulting in an increasing number of environmental problems.…”
To overcome the limitations of the Fe(ii)-activated percarbonate process for ACT removal, this study introduced cysteine as a complexing agent into the Fe(ii)/SPC system and enhanced the degradation efficiency of ACT.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
