Removal of pharmaceuticals with ozone at 10 Swedish wastewater treatment plants

Nilsson, Filip LU ; Ekblad, Maja LU ; la Cour Jansen, Jes LU and Jönsson, Karin LU (2017) In Water Practice & Technology 12(4). p.871-881
Abstract
Pilot-scale tests were run with ozonation for reduction of 24 pharmaceuticals at 10 full-scale wastewater treatment plants in southern Sweden. Reduction was evaluated based on doses of 3, 5 and 7 g O3/m3 at all plants. The reduction of pharmaceuticals reached on average 65% at 3 g O3/m3, 78% at 5 g O3/m3 and 88% for 7 g O3/m3 in terms of total concentration of pharmaceuticals. Specific ozone dose (ratio O3:TOC) was found to be highly influential on pharmaceutical removal. At two WWTPs, the pharmaceutical removal was severely reduced.
