AB  - This study proposes an efficient activated spirulina-based carbon material (ASBCM800) with an extremely high specific surface area (2211 m2 g−1) to eliminate a wide range of micropollutants (MPs) frequently detected in wastewaters. This bio-sorbent can be simply synthesized by pre-carbonization at 600 °C, followed by activation/carbonization with KOH at 800 °C. The material was fully characterized by nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), attenuated total reflection Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy, scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

The highly porous bio-based ASBCM800 material was tested as bio-sorbent (0.25 g L-1) of two model MPs – metoprolol (pKa 9.6) and diclofenac (pKa 4.0) – each individually spiked at 1 mg L-1 in ultrapure water (natural pH of ca. 5.0 ± 1.0). Adsorption capacities of 660.5 and 588.9 mg g−1 at 25 °C, respectively for metoprolol and diclofenac, were determined by using the 3-parameter Sips model. In subsequent experiments, the novel bio-sorbent was also efficient to remove in less than 30 min more than 88% of most of 20 MPs belonging to 5 classes (6 antibiotics, 3 beta-blockers, 5 multi-class pharmaceuticals, 4 herbicides, and 2 insecticides) that were spiked at 100 µg L-1 each in a secondary effluent sample of an urban wastewater treatment plant. This interesting strategy to remove trace MPs from complex matrices as wastewaters, will also contribute to control algal blooms and to mitigate eutrophication due to the resource recovery of spirulina.

AB  - Urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are among the main anthropogenic sources for the release of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) into the environment, which can result in toxic and adverse effects on aquatic organisms and consequently on humans. Unfortunately, WWTPs are not designed to remove CECs and secondary (e.g., conventional activated sludge process, CAS) and tertiary (such as filtration and disinfection) treatments are not effective in the removal of most CECs entering WWTP. Accordingly, several advanced treatment methods have been investigated for the removal of CECs from wastewater, including consolidated (namely, activated carbon (AC) adsorption, ozonation and membranes) and new (such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs)) processes/technologies. This review paper gathers the efforts of a group of international experts, members of the NEREUS COST Action ES1403 who for three years have been constructively discussing the state of the art and the best available technologies for the advanced treatment of urban wastewater. In particular, this work critically reviews the papers available in scientific literature on consolidated (ozonation, AC and membranes) and new advanced treatment methods (mainly AOPs) to analyse: (i) their efficiency in the removal of CECs from wastewater, (ii) advantages and drawbacks, (iii) possible obstacles to the application of AOPs, (iv) technological limitations and mid to long-term perspectives for the application of heterogeneous processes, and (v) a technical and economic comparison among the different processes/technologies.
