Накратко на български

Ефективността на технологиите за пречистване на отпадни води се анализира чрез масва спектрометрия, за да се открият микрозамърсители като остатъци от лекарства. Това помага за намаляване на токсичните рискове за околната среда, здравето на хората и качеството на питейната вода.

Development of a smart workflow based on high resolution mass spectrometry for the assessment of the performance of wastewater treatment technologies

One of the major sources of aquatic pollution are discharges from wastewater treatment plants. Commonly used wastewater treatment plants, primarily operating through biological processes, were developed and designed to protect natural aquatic systems and water resources mainly by removing loads of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous. The increased detection of a wide range of emerging, not-regulated anthropogenic organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment shows the limitations of conventional wastewater treatment plants in removing these compounds. Their continuous introduction into the environment and intrinsic ability to interfere with organisms, concern the scientific and public community, because their potential toxic effects can threaten the ecological status of water bodies as well as human health via e.g. the drinking water quality and/or long-term endocrine disruptive effects. Therefore, advances in wastewater treatment technologies are crucial to minimize the burden of wastewater-originated contaminants. In parallel to the technological developments, one of the main challenges remains the appropriate evaluation of novel and alternative treatment options regarding their potential to minimize the toxicological risks for both, biota and human health. The main objective of SMART-WORKFLOW was to integrate the last advances in chemical analysis (including the use of powerful instrumentation such as high resolution mass spectrometry) and statistical analysis of data to develop and optimize a smart methodology for the assessment of the overall efficiency of wastewater treatment using different technological approaches. SMART-WORKFLOW generated workflows (understood as a procedural sequence for data acquisition, data processing and data mining) applicable to both currently used and novel innovative wastewater treatment technologies that provide in-depth assessment on their performance regarding the removal of polar organic compounds and generated transformation products.

Цел на проекта

Discharges from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the major sources of aquatic pollution. The increased detection of a wide range of organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment shows the limitations of conventional WWTPs (developed and designed to protect natural aquatic systems and water resources mainly by removing loads of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous) in removing these compounds. Therefore, advances in WWTP technologies are crucial to limit the burden of WW-originated contaminants. To date, one of the main challenges is to appropriately evaluate the different treatment technologies regarding their potential to minimize the toxicological risks for biota and human health. The main objective of SMART-WORKFLOW is to integrate the last advances in high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and statistical analysis of data to develop and optimize a smart methodology (workflow) for the assessment of the overall quality of wastewater treatment. Treatments that will be evaluated include the ones (i) based only on physical processes (e.g. membrane filtration or carbon adsorption) where there is no change in the chemical identity of the pollutants and (ii) with changes in the identity of the pollutants due to chemical reactions, including biological treatments or advanced treatments based on oxidation processes (AOPs). The generated workflow is understood as a procedural sequence for data acquisition, data processing and data mining and it will be applicable to both already-known and new wastewater treatments, providing a rapid assessment on its performance regarding the removal of polar organic compounds and generated transformation products (TPs). The present project aims to produce a substantial impact on the field of water research, one of the Europe’s Societal Challenges.
