A review on the occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment and their fate and removal during wastewater treatment. (2014, background): “Fragrances (galaxolide and tonalide) were found to be well removed (40%) during primary treatment (aerated grit chamber followed by circular sedimentation tank) due to their high partition coefficients between the solid and liquid phase (Carballa et al., 2004).”
The removal of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and illicit drugs during wastewater treatment and its impact on the quality of receiving waters. (2009, background): “As a result of low partition coefficient their removal through adsorption onto solid particles during primary treatment in sedimentation tanks or to the activated sludge is low (Bernhard et al., 2006; Carballa et al., 2004).”
