Micropollutant biotransformation under different redox conditions in PhoRedox conventional activated sludge systems
Funding Information: This work was performed within the TKI Belissima project at KWR Water Research Institute. This research was co-financed with PPS-funding from the Top consortia for Knowledge & Innovation (TKI's) of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. The authors would like to thank the KWR Water Treatment and Resource Recovery team, and the KWR Materials Research and Chemical Analysis Laboratory for their cooperation and fruitful discussions. The authors would also like to thank the Dutch project partners who facilitated the sampling campaign and data sharing for performing the lab tests. Finally, Tiago Martins would like to express his gratitude to everyone not abovementioned who contributed to this research with knowledge, advice, and emotional support.

The ecotoxicological safety of the water bodies relies on the reduction of micropollutant emissions from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Quantification of micropollutant removal at full-scale WWTP is scarce. To our knowledge, the anaerobic conversion rates determined at conventional activated sludge processes are, so far, scarcely available in the literature for most of the micropollutants. In this research, we quantified the biotransformation rate constants and the removal efficiencies of 16 micropollutants (4,5-methylbenzotriazole, azithromycin, benzotriazole, candesartan, carbamazepine, clarithromycin, diclofenac, gabapentin, hydrochlorothiazide, irbesartan, metoprolol, propranolol, sotalol, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, and venlafaxine), under aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic redox conditions; using as inoculum wastewater and biomass from a full-scale conventional activated sludge (CAS) system in the Netherlands. Clarithromycin was the compound that exhibited the highest aerobic (76%) and anaerobic (78%) removal efficiencies, while gabapentin ...
