Progress in the biological and chemical treatment technologies for emerging contaminant removal from wastewater: A critical review

Abstract: This review focuses on the removal of emerging contaminants (ECs) by biological, chemical and hybrid technologies in effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Results showed that endocrine disruption chemicals (EDCs) were better removed by membrane bioreactor (MBR), activated sludge and aeration processes among different biological processes. Surfactants, EDCs and personal care products (PCPs) can be well removed by activated sludge process. Pesticides and pharmaceuticals showed good removal efficien… Show more

“…Other advanced technologies such as membrane filtration and activated carbon adsorption have also been investigated and the removal of PPCPs were related to their physical-chemical properties (Rodriguez et al 2016;Yang et al 2011). Hybrid processes using a combination of different technologies are able to further enhance the PPCP treatment efficiency (Ahmed et al 2017). Although these advanced technologies show promising results in PPCP treatment, high cost limits their application on a large scale.…”

“…A Photo-Fenton process is a development of classical Fenton process, is widely used for the removal of Emerging Contaminants such as antibiotics around 90 % to 100 % removal [18], EDCs around 85 %. The process has been carried out for coffee processing wastewater and the COD can be removed around 95 % [23].…”
