Effectiveness of ozonation in decomposition of clofibric acid and bisphenol a in model water solutions
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
The article contains a brief characteristic of the compounds counted among PPCPs (Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products) and EDCs (Endocrine Disrupting Compounds) along with the presentation of their removal methods used in typical WWTPs (Wastewater Treatment Plants), WTPs (Water Treatment Plants) as well as different methods examined in laboratory conditions. The article also shows the results of the tests on decomposition of the selected compounds (clofibric acid, bisphenol A) in model water solutions with the use of advanced oxidation technique – ozonation. The compounds were selected because of their commonness and large volume of production. The main purpose of the research is to design an appropriate equipment generating ozone that could be used in a technical scale. The mechanisms of the compounds migration as well as their sources in the environment are described in the article. Further studies concerning identification of the by-products of these compounds decomposition as well as recognition of the precise mechanisms occurring during different methods application need to be examined in the future.<br/><br/>
