[more ▼] Currently, the presence of microcontaminats (MCs) and pathogens in secondary municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents entails a challenge to be addressed before water discharge or reuse. In this work UVC (UVC/S2O82-, UVC/H2O2) and solar-based processes (solar/S2O82- and solar/H2O2) are proposed as tertiary treatments for the simultaneous removal of both, MCs and pathogens, comparing their efficiency aiming to find the most suitable solution. The microorganisms studied were Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Salmonella enteritidis in a concentration of 103 CFU mL-1 each and a mixture of 6 MCs (acetaminophen, caffeine, carbamazepine, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole and diclofenac) each at 100 μg L-1 of initial concentration, using simulated wastewater treatment plant effluent as water matrix. The concentrations of oxidants studied were 25 and 50 mg L-1 of each, respectively. Results revealed that UVC/H2O2 at 25 mg L-1 presented the most satisfactory solution considering treatment time and addition of reagents for complete inactivation of target pathogens and 80% removal of the sum of MCs.

[more ▼] Benzotriazole, carbamazepine, clarithromycin and diclofenac have been identified as microcontaminants of concern in Luxembourgish wastewaters, thus the implementation of photo-Fenton processes at natural pH has been proposed for their removal. In the present work, the effectiveness of a pilot scale photo-Fenton system (500W Medium Pressure) has been evaluated according to the reagent dosage and toxicity of the treated effluent. With this treatment, 80% degradation is achieved in 15 minutes even with 5 and 3 mg/L of iron (40 mg/L H2O2), but 5 mg/L can have a negative effect on the growth of Sorghum saccharatum in Phytotoxicity tests. In comparison UV-C/H2O2 (40W Low Pressure; 40 mg/L H2O2) process needs longer treatment time and generates degradation by-products causing a growth inhibition of Sorghum saccharatum. The combination of both lamps can lead to a better performance of the reagents allowing to reach the 80% target in less time and to reduce the dosage.
