Integrated full-scale solar CPC/UV-LED-filtration system as a tertiary treatment in a conventional WWTP for agricultural reuse purposes.

ABSTRACT: Today, the emergence of increasingly restrictive treatment and reuse policies make the implementation of full-scale tertiary treatment, capable of improving the quality of water, a priority. Full-scale TiO₂ photocatalysis systems are resulting in a promising option, since TiO₂ is commercially available. However, questions such as how to work continuously during day/night irradiation cycle, or the removing of TiO₂ in outlet flow are still unresolved. In this work, a full-scale system integrating a solar CPC/UV-LED step combined with commercial microfiltration membranes was installed in a conventional WWTP for agricultural reuse purposes. After optimization, 0.5 g/L of catalyst and combined SOLAR + UV-LED showing the highest pharmaceutical removal percentages
