• Biodegradation characteristics of pharmaceutical substances by whole fungal culture Trametes versicolor and its laccase. (2010, background): “In the case of activated sludge process, IBP can be easily transformed into hydroxyl-ibuprofen (IBP-OH) and carboxyl-ibuprofen (IBP-COOH) (Weigel et al., 2004; Clara et al., 2005), while NPX and DCF have a low degradation.”
• From the conventional biological wastewater treatment to hybrid processes, the evaluation of organic micropollutant removal: A review. (2017, methodology): “Among the PPCPs and some of their human metabolites, ACE, CFN, digox-igenin, E1, IBP, NPX, and paraxanthine are for instance rather well removed ( > 90%); whereas CBZ, EDTA, MFA, gem fi brozil (GFZ), CIP, E3, o fl oxacin (OFX), penicillin V, SMX, TMP are poorly removed from in fl uent (Bernhard et al.,”
• Occurrence of pharmaceutical compounds in urban wastewater: removal, mass load and environmental risk after a secondary treatment--a review. (2012, methodology): “No reasonable justification for the increasing of iopromide concentrations within the WWTP could be identified, according to Clara et al. (2005b).”
• Status of pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotic residues in wastewater treatment systems (2017, background): “The SRT represents mean residence time of microorganisms in the biological reactors (Clara et al. 2005; Vieno and Sillanpää 2014).”
• Treatment of micropollutants in municipal wastewater: ozone or powdered activated carbon? (2013, result): “Similar observations were reported for some of these substances by Clara et al. (2005). The higher micropollutant removal observed at high nitrification levels is presumably due to the longer hydraulic residence time in the reactor, leading to a higher time available for biodegradation processes, as”
• Occurrence and elimination of antibiotics at four sewage treatment plants in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), South China. (2007, background): “In our study, since the changes of elimination rates in different HRTs or SRTs were not investigated, the influence of HRT and SRT on the elimination rate could not be assessed from the selected STPs.”
• A review on the occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment and their fate and removal during wastewater treatment. (2014, background): “Clara et al. (2005) suggested that the SRTs allowing nitrogen removal (nitrification and denitrification) above 10 days can enhance the elimination of some biodgradable compounds (e.g. ibuprofen, bezafibrat, natural estrogens and bisphenol A).”
