Paracetamol and ibuprofen removal from aqueous solutions by ozonation and photochemical processes

The comparative experimental study has been performed of removal of pharmaceuticals such as paracetamol and ibuprofen from aqueous solution by ozonation and photochemical degradation in several types of reactors. Ozone, oxygen, and hydrogen peroxide were used as oxidizing agents. Heterogeneous photocatalysis was carried out in the presence of anatase type TiO2 catalyst. To determine the amount of radiation emitted by the UV lamps and transferred into the reactor, chemical feroxioxalate actinometric experiments were performed. The degree of the pollutant removal was monitored by HPLC, COD, BOD5, and TOC. An ecotoxic biological test of process products with Parachlorella kessleri was also evaluated. The results indicate that the removal of both pharmaceuticals is most effective by heterogeneous photocatalysis. In the UV processes, the degradation rate increased considerably when H2O2 was added. However, the addition of peroxide into the ozonation system improved the ozonation only slightly. All products of the processes tested showed improved biodegradability according to the BOD5/COD ratio and low toxicity to Parachlorella kessleri.

Removal of nitrates from wastewater using pond bottom soil

The possibility of the final treatment of mine water from chemical leaching has been investigated. Despite water purification, high nitrate levels remain in these waters and must be removed. The main requirements are the lowest economic, operating and staffing levels. These requirements are best achieved by the removal of nitrates using biological methods, in our case using the pond bottom soil. Experiments were carried out in a batch mode. The effect of the environment on the denitrification process, the influence of the type and amount of the organic substrate and basic parameters of the denitrification such as redox potential, pH and dissolved oxygen were studied.
