Degradation of pesticide residues in vineyard effluents by activated sludge treatment

Abstract: The study evaluates the feasibility of the degradation of thirteen pesticides by an activated sludge aerobic treatment, used for the purification of wastewater effluents produced from a winemaking process. Chemical analyses were used to determine the capacity of the treatment to eliminate the implied pollution hazard. The results show that the biological treatment of such pesticides by activated sludge is possible if a minimum adaptation period of approximately 8 days is applied. System stability is reached in… Show more

“…This suggests a potential for the degradation of aromatic compounds which are usually enriched in such WWTPs. In addition, the overuse of fungicides, insecticides, and pesticides in vineyards could have resulted in the accumulation of aromatic compounds in the wastewater (Cabras and Angioni, 2000;Esteve et al, 2009). Unfortunately, no complete degradation pathway could be inferred from Chloroflexi SAGs due to the incompleteness of the reconstructed genomes.…”

“…Esteve et al (2009) studied the use of an activated sludge aerobic treatment for the purpose of degrading thirteen pesticides, noticing that biological Water Environment Research, Volume 82, Number 10-Copyright © 2010 Water Environment Federation 1454 treatment could treat 97% of twelve of the thirteen pesticides. In addition, the authors noted that flocculation (sedimentation) must be added to maintain the biomass floc that had been destroyed by the pesticides.…”
