Assessing potential modifications to the activated sludge process to improve simultaneous removal of a diverse range of micropollutants. (2014)
Journal Article
PETRIE, B., MCADAM, E.J., LESTER, J.N. and CARTMELL, E. 2014. Assessing potential modifications to the activated sludge process to improve simultaneous removal of a diverse range of micropollutants. Water research [online], 62, pages 180-192. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2014.05.036

It is proposed that wastewater treatment facilities meet legislated discharge limits for a range of micropollutants. However, the heterogeneity of these micropollutants in wastewaters make removal difficult to predict since their chemistry is so dive...
