Operation costs of the solar photo-catalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals in water: A mini-review.

Abstract:

:The removal of pharmaceuticals present in wastewater is receiving more and more attention since most of them are refractory to traditional biological treatments. Many advanced oxidation processes have been reported in literature. However, cost estimations are not available for most of them. Recently, more environment friendly processes using solar radiation are gaining importance. The solar photo-Fenton process has been used with different reactor configurations and scales and seems to be the most promising technology for reducing operation costs. In addition, the use of ferrioxalate-aided systems allows the use of pHs close to neutrality, that reduces costs before disposal (not calculated here). The possible use of photovoltaic panels for an energy-free process makes it very interesting for an economic evaluation. Results for the homogeneous solar photo-Fenton process show that when pure compounds are present in water, mineralization is in the range 18-21% with an estimated operation cost of 0.739-0.85 €/m3. An increase in mineralization up to 60-80.6% requires either the use of ferrioxalate (slightly increasing costs to 1.1-1.56 €/m3) or the addition of very high concentration of H2O2, that rises costs substantially. The presence of pharmaceuticals in a Waste Water Treatment Plant effluent reduces mineralization (maximum of 20%) also increasing costs. On the other hand, published results confirm that heterogeneous photocatalysis with TiO2 (both suspended or immobilized) is still far to compete with homogeneous photo-Fenton process in operation costs. The development of new reactor systems and modified photo-catalysts are needed to compete as an efficient applicable technology in the near future.
