Abstract
In recent years, considerable attention was paid to the presence of organic micro-pollutants such as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) in the aquatic environment due to their negative impact on public health and aquatic ecosystems. Numerous papers have pointed out API presence as common constituents of effluents from Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs). This is the result of various efficiencies of API removal by conventional activated sludge process. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of selected pharmaceutical compounds during their treatment in Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) equipped with activated sludge from municipal and industrial (pharmaceutical company) wastewater treatment plant. The basic parameters characterizing the biological wastewater treatment process, namely chemical oxygen demand, non-purgeable organic carbon and ammonium nitrogen were examined. Finally, the structures of selected products of biotransformation were determined.
