Abstract:Most conventional sewage treatment systems are not able to fully remove micropollutants found in sewage. Thus, the simultaneous degradation of 11 pharmaceuticals identified in the effluent of a sewage treatment plant in Southern Brazil was herein investigated through advanced oxidation processes based on ozonation, ultraviolet radiation and hydrogen peroxide. For detection, samples were prepared through solid-phase extraction and pharmaceuticals were identified through ultra-high performance liquid chromatogra… Show more
