Progress on the removal of contaminants on surface and wastewater: report of case-studies

Abstract

Contamination of the water sector represents a global issue known since the 1960s. However, the consequences are still not adequately known as a whole. There is insufficient information on the thousands of molecules released into the environment and, above all, their properties and the quantities produced, capable of determining the global effects of potential toxic actions on living organisms and the environment. For some time, scholars and researchers from the planet have been directing their activities to identify new integrated technologies and low energy consumption tools aimed at treating and reusing wastewater. For some time, our research group has been experimenting with removing traditional contaminants and emerging contaminants using hybrid techniques (filtration and Advanced Oxidation Processes). In this communication, we report some of our case studies, which have validated the effectiveness of the treatments
