Algunos contaminantes emergentes, principalmente fármacos
de diferentes clases así como drogas de abuso, pueden
estar presentes en las aguas residuales urbanas, no siendo
posible su eliminación mediante las técnicas convencionales
de depuración. Se ha realizado un estudio en planta piloto
en dos estaciones depuradoras de aguas residuales (EDAR),
Font de la Pedra (Muro de Alcoy) y Molina de Segura (Murcia),
con el fin de determinar la eficacia de eliminación de ciertos
contaminantes emergentes mediante un tratamiento terciario
de oxidación avanzada con ozono.Removal of emerging pollutants in sewage water subjected
to advanced oxidation with ozone and ultrasound
Emergent pollutants, mainly pharmaceuticals from different therapeutically classes
and drugs of abuse, can be presents in urban sewage water, being not effective
removed through conventional sewage water treatments. The objectives of this
study, conducted at a modular mobile pilot plant in two different WWTP: Font
de la Pedra STP (Muro de Alcoy) and Molina de Segura STP (Murcia), were the
determination and the comparison between the removal efficiency of those
contaminants through the conventional sewage water treatments, and with a
tertiary treatment applied consisting on Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) based
on ozone treatments, and ultrasounds
