Removal of tetrabromobisphenol A by conventional activated sludge, submerged membrane and membrane aerated biofilm reactors

Performance of secondary wastewater treatment methods for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern implicated in crop uptake and antibiotic resistance spread: A review

“…180-439 (Meyer and Bester 2004;Ryu et al, 2014;Zeng et al, 2015;Cristale et al, 2016) Tetrabromobisphenol A 1.22x10 -4 -41 (Morris et al, 2004;Potvin et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2016) Hexabromocyclododecane 1.…”

Enhancing tetrabromobisphenol A biodegradation in river sediment microcosms and understanding the corresponding microbial community

“…T, without the subsequent aeration. Several other studies have shown that TBBPA can be reductively debrominated by the microbial communities in oxic or anoxic soil slurry, river sediment, and sewage sludge (Chang et al, 2012a;Potvin et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2013;Li et al, 2014).…”

A review of the environmental distribution, fate, and control of tetrabromobisphenol A released from sources

“…While lab results are promising, more information on removal efficiencies at operating WWTPs in China is needed. This has been done in other countries, such as Canada, where Potvin et al (2012) found TBBPA in municipal wastewater was reduced from 41 ng/L to 0.7 ng/L at a conventional activated sludge (CAS) treatment plant. TBBPA in wastewater from PCB manufacturing in Shanghai (28.3-174 ng/L) was significantly reduced in treated effluent (3.21 ng/L) (Zhou et al, 2014b), but the treatment method not specified.…”
