Abstract
The wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were considered as a hub of transit from human activities as a source to the aquatic ecosystems as a sink of emerging contaminants (ECs). This study investigated the fate of phthalate esters (PAEs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and antibiotics in the influent and effluent of WWTPs in industrial, urban and rural in Shaanxi province (China). The first most abundant monomer of these three types of ECs were the same in industrial, urban and rural WWTPs. The composition of PAEs in the influent of urban and rural WWTPs were quite different from that of industrial WWTPs. The removal efficiency of PAEs and PFASs in urban WWTPs were higher than those in rural and industrial WWTPs. The annual mass load of PFASs in rural WWTPs was lower than that in industrial and urban WWTPs. The risk quotient (RQ) of PAEs was high, with most of them exceeding 1. While the RQ of PFASs was low, exceeding 0.1 only in some industrial WWTPs. The frequency of high risk of total antibiotics in urban and rural WWTPs was higher than that in industrial WWTPs. This study provided field survey data and guidance to strengthen the management of ECs in the region.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
