    International audienceSome refractory micropollutants remain in treated wastewater after secondary treatments. In order to reduce their concentration in treated water, tertiary treatments can be used such as advanced oxidation processes and activated carbon. The efficiency of granular activated carbon in a long term is not well known and advanced oxidation processes have mostly been studied at laboratory scale. Advanced oxidation processes and granular activated carbon pilots were studied in two different wastewater treatment plants in order to determine their efficiency on numerous micropollutants. Both processes were efficient (>90%) on beta blockers and other drugs. The removal of alkylphenols was not complete with UV and hydrogen peroxide. Activated carbon was still efficient after six months functioning 24/24
