This research investigated the biological transformation of trimethoprim (TMP). Partial TMP removal was observed in the presence of ammonia and toluene, and increasing the solids retention time from 20 days to 60 days improved TMP removal in both the nitrifying and heterotrophic bioreactors. Two TMP-related metabolites were identified, the first (5-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl) pyrimidine-2,4-diamine, 5-hydroxyl) showing that a hydroxylation reaction took place, and the second (5-(1-carboxyl, 1-methoxy, 5-methoxy 1-,4-pentene) pyrimidine-2,4-diamine, 5-hydroxyl) showing that the trimethoxybenzyl ring was cleaved. This research is the first that we are aware of to report these two TMP-related byproducts. TMP metabolites show that initiating reactions take place where the electron density is highest, and that these initiating reactions shift the electron density of TMP, likely affecting the course of transformation.

In this paper, the theoretical preconditions in favor of the use of thin-layer settling tanks for industrial wastewater treatment are substantiated by the corresponding laboratory studies. The data from the results of studies of wastewater treatment of the textile, knitwear and silk industries conducted on laboratory thin-layer settling tanks according to the basic schemes of wastewater supply and precipitating sediment are given. As stated by these data, according to the generally accepted criteria for the effectiveness of suspended solids retention for wastewater of the above-mentioned industries, it is more preferable to use thin-layer sedimentation in a cross-sectional scheme.
