Sažetak
The removal of a selection of organic micropollutants (OMPs) from wastewater was assessed by a hybrid system consisting of an MBR coupled to powdered activated carbon (PAC) added inside the biological tank. Two PAC concentrations were tested (0.1 and 0.2 g/L) in a full-scale MBR treating mainly hospital wastewater. Out of 232 OMPs tested, results of a selection of 25 pharmaceuticals, mainly antibiotics, is presented regarding their frequency of detection, loadings and removal efficiencies, and environmental impact. Results indicate that a PAC concentration of 0.2 g/L reduced the average loads OMPs tested by 77% with respect to MBR alone (41%).
