This study was carried out to increase the treatment efficiency through the improvement of the conventional biological process, and to propose the optimal treatment direction. The optimal treatment conditions were derived based on the results of the spike damage tests in each single process. The removal efficiency of micropharmaceuticals was further increased when an ozone treatment process was added to the biological process compared to the single process. The soil and activated carbon adsorption process was introduced in the post-treatment to remove the micropharmaceutical residues, and the removal efficiency of the pharmaceduticals in the final effluent was more than 85% in spike damage experiment. In particular, the continuous process of biological treatment-ozone-adsorption could ensure the stable treatment of micropharmaceuticals, which had not been efficiently removed in the single process, as it showed more than 80% removal efficiency. Therefore, it is expected that the addition of the ozone oxidation and activated carbon adsorption process to the existing sewage treatment facilities can contribute to the efficient removal of micropharmaceuticals.

Metal Pb(II) is one of the pollutants that causes water pollution and impacts ecosystem damage. Pb(II) metal waste is toxic and biomagnification, so it harms human health. The combination of electrocoagulation and adsorption processes is an efficient and effective alternative in removing Pb(II) metal in wastewater. In this study, the wastewater treatment process is carried out in batch using electrocoagulation with aluminum electrodes and followed by activated carbon adsorption. This research aimed to analyze the effect of electrical voltage in electrocoagulation, adsorption time, and adsorbent dose on reducing Pb(II) concentration. Electrocoagulation and adsorption processes were used variations of  electrical voltage (10, 20, 30 V), adsorption times (15, 30, 45 minutes), and adsorbent doses (2,5, 3,3, 4,1, 5 g/L). The research showed that the combination of electrocoagulation and adsorption could significantly reduce Pb(II) concentration in wastewater. Increased electrical voltage, adsorption time, and adsorbent dose lead to increased Pb(II). The maximum removal efficiency of Pb(II) metal was obtained under voltage of 30 V, 45 minutes adsorption time, and 5 g/L adsorbent dose. This condition resulted in removal efficiency Pb(II) of 96,01%.

A case study is presented, in which two approaches to the treatment of complex chemical wastewater are experimentally compared: an end-of-pipe “best available technology” option and an in-plant source segregation program. Both options proved to be feasible. Application of the powdered activated carbon treatment (PACT™) process for the combined end-of-pipe stream yielded up to 93% reduction of dissolved organic carbon, with complete toxicity elimination. In order to examine the potential for applying a conventional activated sludge process, a simplified laboratory screening procedure was devised, aimed at establishing baseline data of removability potential, defined either by biodegradation, activated carbon adsorption or volatilization. Using this procedure, the major source of the non-biodegradable fraction in the combined park's wastewater was traced to a single factory, from which twelve individual source streams were screened. The results allowed the division of the tested sources into three groups: degradable, volatile, and problematic. A modified wastewater segregation and treatment program was accordingly proposed, which should allow an efficient and environmentally acceptable solution. This program is presently at its final testing stages, at the conclusion of which a full comparison between the two approaches will be carried out.
