Description of the research topic:
Due to the low biodegradability, some of the endocrin disrupting chemicals appeared in the waters, including treated and drinking waters. Moreover, many of these compounds are supposed or proven carcinogens, mutagens or endocrine disruptor. Biological water treatment method is generally not effective to eliminate these compounds. The presence of emerging biological active, persistent trace pollutants in both drinking water and aquatic ecosystem represent a great challenge for conventional water treatment methods. Even thou they have very low concentration this can be one of the most important problems of the society in the next decades. Consequently, efforts must be made to develop water treatment techniques, as well as to build tertiary water treatment units, which can be based on the Advanced Oxidation Processes. The aime of this research topic is the optimization of various Advanced Oxidation Processis (such as ozonation, UV and VUV photolysis and heterogeneous photocatalysis) and their combinations for elimination of these trace pollutants including determination of intermediates and mechanism of transformation.
