Water reuse is a viable option to address temporal or structural water shortages. However, the ubiquitous presence of chemicals emerging concern (CECs) in natural systems, especially aquatic environment, represents significant obstacle and receiving environment. Therefore, an extensive literature review was performed identify current practices at field scale, reported types levels CECs their associated risks for human environmental health. Treated wastewater primary reused source, with agricultural being most frequently application (28 %), followed by indirect-potable (16 %). Contrary potable reuse, it observed that almost no studies applied additional treatment before purposes. Based on calculated risk quotients, ecological were identified perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, chlorpyrifos, triclocarban, ethinylestradiol, health acid perfluorooctanoic acid. Environmental could be assessed 77 % detected CECs, while assessment limited 28 %. For CEC concentrations produced crops acceptable levels. thorough during currently due focus defined class contaminants literature, i.e., pharmaceuticals, falls short per- polyfluoroalkyl substances. future should include broader set study mitigation options decrease reuse. Moreover, harm caused such as adverse effects microbial soil community leaching non-target sources has hardly been studied presents knowledge gap.

Supported TiO2 in Ceramic Materials for the Photocatalytic Degradation of Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Liquid Effluents: A Review

Molecules, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 26(17), P. 5363 - 5363

Published: Sept. 3, 2021

The application of TiO2 as a slurry catalyst for the degradation contaminants emerging concern (CEC) in liquid effluents has some drawbacks due to difficulties reutilization. Thus, sophisticated and expensive separation methods are required after reaction step. Alternatively, several types materials have been used support powder catalysts, so that fixed or fluidized bed reactors may be used. In this context, objective work is systematize analyze results research inherent ceramic photocatalytic CEC removal from effluents. Firstly, an overview given about treatment processes able degrade CEC. particular, photocatalysts supported analyzed, namely immobilization techniques applied these materials. Finally, critical review literature dedicated photocatalysis with presented, where performance considered well main drivers barriers implementing process. A focal point future investigate possibility depurating promote water reuse safe conditions, play role scope.
