“…The effective removal of the tested tetracycline antibiotics in this case may be due to the 179 effects of sweep coagulation in the river water samples, and charge neutralization in the 180 synthetic water samples, respectively (Choi et al, 2008). The most poorly removed antibiotic 181 seems to be sulfamethoxazole which has shown negligible removal using both ferric chloride 182 …”

“…In previous studies, efficient removal of PhACs has been achieved by GAC having larger pore size, because it can effectively adsorb pollutants with different shapes and size. Moreover, it was noted that pore volume has more influence on the adsorption of PhACs than specific area, and larger pore volume can achieve higher removal efficiency [195,196]. Representative examples of CBZ removal by GAC/PAC from a variety of water matrix (e.g., surface water and MBR effluent) is provided in Table 8.…”

“…Besides, dissolved humic acid could increase the removal rates of pharmaceutical compounds such as diclofenac, ibuprofen and bezafibrate (Vieno et al, 2006). Conversely, present of dissolved organic matter in wastewater may inhibit the removal of micropollutants (Choi et al, 2008). Apart from all these, mixing conditions, pH, alkalinity and temperature also influence the performance of coagulation-flocculation (Alexander et al, 2012).…”

Present of micropollutants in aquatic environments has become an alarming environmental problem for both living creatures and environment. Micropollutants, also called as emerging contaminants arise from natural substances and increasing variety of anthropogenic events. Micropollutants consist of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, steroid hormones, industrial chemicals, pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and other recently seen compounds. These emerging contaminants are commonly found in very low concentration in different water bodies ranging from a few ng/l to several μg/l. Many existing Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) in all over the world are not especially designed for removing micropollutants. Low concentration and diversity of micropollutants complicate the dedection and analysis procedures during the treatment processes. Furthermore, entering micropollutants to the WWTPs continuously and stable structure of many micropollutants make difficult to eliminate these emerging compounds sufficiently. Therefore, many micropollutants of unknown concentration pass to aquatic environment from WWTPs. The occurence of micropollutants with a significant levels in aquatic environments disrupt the aquatic ecosystems with a number of adverse effects including short-term and long-term toxicity such as endocrine disrupting effects. Besides the known negative effects of micropollutants there are great number of micropollutants whose effects on living organisms are still unknown. As a result, removing these compounds is of a great importance both to protect environmental ecosystem and human health. Considering that the conventional methods are insufficient for removing the micropollutants other alternative treatment methods including coagulation-flocculation, activated carbon adsorption (powdered activated carbon and granular activated carbon), advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), membrane processes and membrane bioreactor can be applied for better removal. In this study, alternative treatments methods and removal efficiencies of each treatment methods on different micropollutants were investigated and all alternative treatment methods were compared between each other in terms of micropollutant removal rates.
