Multistage ozone and biological treatment system for real wastewater containing antibiotics
In this study, a multistage treatment system was proposed to treat real pharmaceutical wastewater containing the antibiotic amoxicillin. Ozonation (O.sub.3), and ozonation combined with aerobic biodegradation, were performed. The real pharmaceutical wastewater presented a high concentration of organic matter (TOC: 803 mg C*L.sup.-1 and COD: 2775 mg O.sub.2*L.sup.-1), significant amoxicillin content (50 mg L.sup.-1) and acute ecotoxicity (Aliivibrio fischeri aTU: 48.22). Ozonation proved to be effective for amoxicillin degradation (up to 99%) and the results also indicated the removal of the original colour of the wastewater, with average consumption of 1 g of ozone. However, the ozonation system alone could not achieve complete mineralization. Therefore, a combination of ozonation and biodegradation in a multistage system was proposed in order to improve cost and treatment efficiency. The multistage treatment system presented promising results, achieving degradation of more than 99% of the amoxicillin, more than 98% of the original chemical oxygen demand (COD), and 90% of initial toxicity, with the consumption of approximately 500 mg of ozone. This indicates that this system could prevent dangerous and biorecalcitrant antibiotics from entering water resources.
