Studies in the last two decades showed that effluents of wastewater treatment plants is the main source of endocrine disrupting compounds in fresh water systems and conventional wastewater treatment facilities fail to accomplish a full removal of many of these compounds due to their specific chemical properties. Different treatment mechanisms have been tested biological nutrient removing systems especially sequencing batch reactors (SBR) showed promising results.

Removal of endocrine disrupter compounds and trace organics in membrane bioreactors Komesli, Okan Tarik; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi; Department of Environmental Engineering (2012) Endocrine disrupters and trace organic contaminants are recently recognized contaminants in wastewaters. Current concept is the multibarier approach where the contaminants are removed from the water cycle both by water and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as natural die-away. In this thesis work LC/MS/MS determination of selected EDC compounds, namely, diltiazem, progesterone, estrone, carbamazepine, benzyl butyl phthalate and acetaminophen, at ultra trace levels, have been carried out by optimizing...
Seasonal monıtorıng of nonylphenol compounds ın sewage sludge Kara Murdoch, Fadime; Sanin, Faika Dilek (null; 2015-08-27) Nonylphenol compounds (NPnEO) enter wastewater treatment systems from a number of different sources, including domestic and industrial. These compounds start losing their ethoxy groups during treatment processes and eventually form nonylphenol diethoxylate (NP2EO), nonylphenol monoethoxylate (NP1EO) and nonylphenol (NP) as final products with higher toxic properties. Even though they are removed during wastewater treatment to a certain extent, an important fraction heavily concentrate on solids due to their...
Effectiveness of algae in the treatment of a wood-based pulp and paper industry wastewater Tarlan, Esra; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü (2002-04-27) In this study, the ability of algae to treat a wood-based pulp and paper industry wastewater was investigated. Tests were performed in batch reactors seeded with a mixed culture of algae. Under different lighting and initial wastewater strength conditions, changes in COD, AOX and color contents of reactors were followed with time. Algae were found to remove up to 58% of COD, 84% of color and 80% of AOX from pulp and paper industry wastewaters. No remarkable differences were observed in COD and color when li...
Occurrence, fate and removal of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in Turkish wastewater treatment plants KOMESLİ, Okan Tarık; Muz, M.; Ak, M. S.; BAKIRDERE, Sezgin; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (2015-10-01) Endocrine disrupting compounds, EDCs, are somewhat recently recognized pollutants which are often classed within 'emerging micropollutants' in the environment jargon. These compounds are known to interfere with the delicate balance of the endocrine system of animals and man, causing variety of undesirable outcomes. Their sources in natural waters are the domestic and industrial effluents. The main cause of concern with EDCs is their tendency to accumulate in fish causing gender shifts and reduced fecundity....
Investigating the effect of solids retention time on pesticides removal in an activated sludge process Kocaman, Kumru; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (2022-10-01) © 2022 Elsevier B.V.The levels of pesticides reaching the biological wastewater treatment plants have been increasing. Operational conditions leading to the most efficient removal of pesticides in these plants should be evaluated first before attempting tertiary-level treatment options. This study investigated the influence of solids retention times (SRTs) on the removal of three pesticides (carbendazim, imidacloprid, and aclonifen) in the activated sludge process. Laboratory-scale reactors receiving these ...
