Effects of ozone and GAC on the removal of acetylsalicylic acid by Oussama Khemis, Gabriel Racovițeanu, Elena Vulpașu

“…The study was developed on two treatment processes (ozonation process (O3) and adsorption process with granular actif carbon) and two different flow rates (1.25 l/min with an EBCTof 6 min, 2.5 l/min with an EBCT of 3 min) applied in a large-scale drinking water treatment pilot. The O3/AC process obtained good results at a flow rate of 1.25 l/min (EBCT of 6 min) with total elimination at a concentration of 0.4 mg/L and 98.73% and 99.96% for higher concentrations of 1.6 mg/l and 0.8 mg/l respectively, which means that this processis capable of degrading and removing the pharmaceutical substance acetylsalicylic acid.…”
