The growing occurrence of human and veterinary pharmaceuticals in the environment is causing increasing concern. Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics that play an important role in the treatment of serious bacterial infections. Antibiotics can reach wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) from different routes. Domestic effluents are considered the major contributor but effluents from pharmaceutical...
Pharmaceuticals have received increasing attention as emerging organic pollutants due to their frequent occurrence in the environment and potential adverse effects on ecossistems and to human health. Pharmaceuticals may not be completely metabolized in the human body and can enter municipal sewage systems as the parent drug and as their “biologically active” metabolites. Some of these compounds cannot be easily...
A sequential injection system with dual analytical line was developed and applied in the comparison of two different detection systems viz; a conventional spectrophotometer with a commercial flow cell, and a multireflective flow cell coupled with a photometric detector under the same experimental conditions. The study was based on the spectrophotometric determination of phosphate using the molybdenumblue chemis...
Water treatment has become a source of concern as new pollutants and higher volumes of waste water must be treated. Emerging biological approaches, namely the use of bioreactors, for cleaning processes have been introduced. The use of bioreactors requires the development of efficient monitoring tools, preferably with realtime measurements. In this work, a couple of flow injection systems were developed and opti...
