“…The ongoing development of industries and agriculture has resulted in increasing discharge of toxic organic contaminants such as pesticides, antibiotics, dyes, and pharmaceuticals into drainage systems and, consequently, into wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). These toxic organic pollutants have attracted considerable attention recently (Martin-Diaz et al, 2020;Qin et al, 2020b;Seleiman et al, 2020). Owing to the high toxicity, polymeric structures, and non-biodegradable characteristics of these pollutants, traditional biological treatment approaches for WWTPs are not effective as they cannot destroy their structures.…”

High levels of toxic organic pollutants commonly detected during domestic/industrial wastewater treatment have been attracting research attention globally because they seriously threaten human health. Sulfate-radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have been successfully used in wastewater treatment, such as that containing antibiotics, pesticides, and persistent organic pollutants, for refractory contaminant degradation. This review summarizes activation methods, including physical, chemical, and other coupling approaches, for efficient generation of sulfate radicals and evaluates their applications and economic feasibility. The degradation behavior as well as the efficiency of the generated sulfate radicals of typical domestic and industrial wastewater treatment is investigated. The categories and characteristics of the intermediates are also evaluated. The role of sulfate radicals, their kinetic characteristics, and possible mechanisms for organic elimination are assessed. In the last section, current difficulties and future perspectives of SR-AOPs for wastewater treatment are summarized.

“…The reported results and conclusions found by other authors depend on a great number of variables: experimental conditions, climatology, period of analysis, type of soils and sludge, etc. Given the numerous environmental parameters influencing the survival of micro-organisms and the complexity of their interaction, it is not surprising that the results obtained by different workers do not always agree [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Some studies show that the numbers of microorganisms are normally 100–1000 times higher in sludge than in soils [ 17 , 19 , 20 ].…”

“…Some studies show that the numbers of microorganisms are normally 100–1000 times higher in sludge than in soils [ 17 , 19 , 20 ]. In general, it can be said that the evolution of microorganisms after land application depends essentially on the physical-chemical conditions of the soil and the availability of nutrients, the atmospheric conditions being less relevant [ 16 , 19 ]. The presence of pathogens in soils is influenced by soil moisture, aeration, soil texture, temperature, pH, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, etc.…”

Large amounts of sewage sludge are generated in urban wastewater treatment plants and used as fertilizer in agriculture due to its characteristics. They can contain contaminants such as heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms. The objective of this research work is to study, in real conditions, the evolution of microbial concentration in agricultural soils fertilized by biologically treated sewage sludge. The sludge (6.25 tons Ha−1) was applied in two agricultural soils with different textures and crops. A microbiological (total coliforms, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Salmonella sp. and total mesophylls) and physical-chemical characterization of the sludge, soils and irrigation water were carried out. The evolution of these parameters during sowing, growth and harvesting of crops was studied. Initially, sewage sludge had a higher concentration of microorganisms than soils. Irrigation water also contained microorganisms, fewer than sewage sludge amendment but not negligible. After amendment, there were no differences in the microbiological evolution in the two types of soil. In general, bacterial concentrations after crop harvest were lower than bacterial concentrations detected before sewage sludge amendment. Consequently, the application of sludge from water treatment processes did not worsen the microbiological quality of agricultural soil in this study at real conditions.
