Application of SR-AOP for treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater: an interdisciplinary approach for unraveling the full degradation mechanism of representative compounds. KU Leuven
There is a growing concern on the ecological impact of different classes of recalcitrant organic pollutants in natural waters. Many of these organics are toxic and bio-refractory. Pharmaceutical micro-pollutants are regarded as a special threat to ecosystems due to their specific biological effect and the potential of inducing drug-resistant bacteria. Drug residues are only partially removed in a classical wastewater treatment plant and ...
