Phycoremediation of municipal wastewater: Removal of nutrients and contaminants of emerging concern

David Skufca, Ana Kovacic, Franja Prosenc, Tjasa Griessler Bulc, David Heath, Ester Heath

Summary: High-rate algal ponds (HRAP) are an alternative method for wastewater treatment that can contribute to the circular economy by valorising reclaimed water and algal biomass. Studies show that HRAPs have good removal efficiency for nutrients and contaminants, but further research is needed to understand the risks and requirements of safe wastewater and biomass reuse.

Wastewater treatment and emerging contaminants: Bibliometric analysis

Yixia Chen, Mingwei Lin, Dan Zhuang

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive summary of wastewater treatment and emerging contaminants research from 1998 to 2021 using bibliometric analysis. The analysis reveals that China has the highest number of publications and the closest cooperation with the United States. The most cited papers indicate that purification or removal techniques such as ozonation or membrane filtration can effectively remove pharmaceutical compounds from the water environment. Efficient detection of emerging contaminants and optimization of removal methods are identified as current challenges.

Metformin as an emerging concern in wastewater: Occurrence, analysis and treatment methods

Akash Balakrishnan, Mika Sillanpaa, Meenu Mariam Jacob, Dai-Viet N. Vo

Summary: Metformin is a versatile drug used for anti-hypoglycemia and cancer suppression. Its widespread usage results in accumulation in waste water and aquatic environments, posing health risks to living beings. Different strategies are needed to eliminate metformin from wastewater.

Occurrence and removal of chemicals of emerging concern in wastewater treatment plants and their impact on receiving water systems

Oksana Golovko, Stefan Orn, Mattias Sorengard, Kim Frieberg, Winnie Nassazzi, Foon Yin Lai, Lutz Ahrens

Summary: Wastewater treatment plants are major sources of Emerging Chemicals of Concern (CECs) in aquatic environments, impacting aquatic ecosystems. This study investigated 164 CECs at 15 locations, with CEC concentrations varying widely between WWTPs. The K-d of CECs correlated with K-ow, allowing for prediction of their distribution in water and solids. WWTP effluent had higher CEC concentrations than upstream waters, potentially impacting downstream ecosystems.

New compact multi option photo reactor for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern from wastewater

Maria J. Martin de Vidales, Esteban Palomo de la Fuente, Evangelina Atanes-Sanchez, Francisco Fernandez-Martinez

Summary: The aim of this study was to develop a new, highly compact multi-option photo reactor for the removal of emerging contaminants from wastewater. Different advanced oxidation processes, including electrochemical oxidation, photolysis, and photocatalysis with TiO2 nanotubes array, were investigated and combined to create a photoelectrocatalytic oxidation process. The efficiency of these processes was evaluated by measuring the removal of ofloxacin, a pharmaceutical compound used as a model contaminant. SEM and XRD characterization confirmed the formation of anatase-phase nanotubes with suitable dimensions for photocatalytic reactions. The results demonstrated that the coupling of these technologies was effective, leading to high process efficiencies.

Contaminants of Emerging Concern in African Wastewater Effluents: Occurrence, Impact and Removal Technologies

Mohamed Chaker Necibi, Driss Dhiba, Souad El Hajjaji

Summary: The pollution of water bodies worldwide by contaminants of emerging concern is creating challenges for conventional wastewater treatment facilities, with African countries facing more severe problems due to poor sanitation systems and shortage of wastewater treatment plants. African researchers are working on developing and optimizing sampling and analytical procedures, risk assessment models, and efficient remediation technologies to address these environmental threats.

Nontargeted Screening of Contaminants of Emerging Concern in the Glen Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant, Botswana

Kgato P. Selwe, J. Brett Sallach, Caroline E. H. Dessent

Summary: The prevalence and impact of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) have raised growing concerns. However, the environmental monitoring of CECs has been limited in low- and middle-income countries due to the lack of advanced analytical instrumentation locally. In this study, a nontargeted and suspect screening approach using liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry was employed to identify known and unknown pollutants in wastewater and groundwater samples from the Glen Valley wastewater treatment plant in Botswana. The results revealed the presence of various pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, and other compounds, emphasizing the importance of wastewater treatment plants as a major pathway of chemical pollution.

Impact of wastewater reuse on contaminants of emerging concern in an effluent-dominated river

Jordyn M. Wolfand, Anneliese Sytsma, Kristine T. Taniguchi-Quan, Eric D. Stein, Terri S. Hogue

Summary: Contaminants of emerging concern can have potential adverse effects on humans and aquatic life, making it important to consider their impact in water management decisions. This research examines the effects of water reuse practices on the concentrations of various contaminants in the Los Angeles River. The results show that water reuse generally improves water quality, except for one specific contaminant, but the improvements may not be sufficient to mitigate high concentrations downstream of effluent discharge points.
