摘要

The recalcitrant pharmaceutical compounds carbamazepine, clofibric acid, diazepam, and diclofenac were monitored in municipal wastewater by ESI-LC-MS and -MS-MS in positive and negative mode. Although biological treatment by conventional and membrane bioreactor failed, the advanced oxidation methods using ozone (O3), O3/UV or hydrogen peroxide in combination with UV (H2O2/UV), successfully achieved their complete elimination. Target compounds could be confirmed as permanently present pollutants in Aachen-Soers wastewater in concentrations between 0.006 and 1.9 g L-1 prior to AOP treatment resulting in a complete elimination.
