Degradation of widespread pharmaceuticals by activated sludge: kinetic study, t...
Quintelas, Cristina; Mesquita, Daniela P.; Torres, A.; Costa, Isa; Ferreira, Eugénio C.The growing presence of pharmaceutical compounds in aqueous systems leads to the search for new efficient and eco-friendly solutions to this problem. Although pharmaceutical products are widely found in the aqueous environments, there is limited understanding of their ecological effects. To augment the removal of pharmaceuticals, a bench reactor was inoculated with activated sludge and fed with a synthetic medi...
