Effects of domestic wastewater toxicity on anaerobic membrane-bioreactor (MBR) performances.

abstract：:In this study, peracetic acid (PAA) activated by Fe(II) was proposed to remove diclofenac (DCF) in polluted water. It was found that Fe(II)/PAA system could effectively remove DCF at neutral condition, which has a significant advantage over classical Fenton process. According to the result of scavenging experiment, bo...
