We have completed with the laboratory scale experiments within the project on the use of electrolytic cells for the degradation of drug (pharmaceuticals) residues in water. The use of boron-doped diamond electrodes showed high degradation efficiency. During the development phase, the electrolytic cell power supply system was upgraded with innovative solutions that enable us adjusting …

Summary Numerous studies have been published about the presence of pharmaceuticals and phytopharmaceuticals in wastewater, ground and even …
The pilot plant with pre-treatment system and electrolytic cell will be installed at small municipal wastewater treatment plant with percolation system in Golnik, which is recipient of wastewaters coming from nearby hospital.
We will present our activities with the presentation Presence of pharmaceuticals in wastewater in Sloveni on the 2nd Congress of Slovenian society of toxicology on 23 and 24 April, 2015.
Our first laboratory results of the project will be presented on the 6th CROATIAN WATER CONFERENCE in Opatija, 20 – 23. May, 2015.
The document “Environmentally Persistent Pharmaceutical Pollutants (EPPPs), Strategic Approach to international Chemicals Management (SACIM), Geneva, 2014” addresses important open questions and issues regarding the threats of pharmaceuticals to the environment and human health.
The report “Pharmaceuticals in the Environment: A growing threat to our tap water and the environment” has been published by CHEM Trust. The report highlights the extent to which medicines are now polluting fresh-waters and the hazard they present in the case of no action. The report’s authors are calling for sewage treatment works to …
The first months of LIFE PharmDegrade project were dedicated to operation optimization of electrolytic cell on laboratory scale.
