Examination of sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim and dichlorophenac micropollutants along Sakarya River and treated by different ultrafiltration membranes

Abstract

In this study, The removal of micropollutants in the Sakarya River at five different locations and three different pharmaceuticals and water quality parameters are examined. To remove the micropollutants and improve the water quality, microfiltration (MF), and ultra-filtration (UF) membranes were used for treatment. Pharmacological pollutants, such as trimethoprim (TMP), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and dichlorophanac (DFN)  are chosed for treatment, which can be found in water very frequently and in high amounts. The best removal efficiency was obtained with UP005 UF membrane, it can be treated up to 66%.

Sakarya Nehri boyunca sülfametaksazol, trimetoprim ve diklorafenak mikrokirleticilerin incelenmesi ve farklı ultrafiltrayon membranlar ile arıtımı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Türkiye için önemli su kaynaklarından biri olan Sakarya Nehri boyunca 5 farklı noktadan numune alınarak sülfametaksazol, trimetoprim ve diklorafenak mikrokirleticileri ve çözünmüş organik karbon (ÇOK), ultraviolet absrobance at 254 nm dalga boyu (UV254), sertlik, iletkenlik gibi su kalite parametreleri incelenmiş, mikrokirleticilerin giderilmesi ve su kalitesinin iyileştirilmesi amacıyla mikrofiltrasyon (MF) ve ultrafiltrasyon (UF) membranları ile arıtım çalışmaları yapılmıştır. En iyi arıtma verimi UP005 UF membran ile elde edilmiştir. Küçük por çaplı ultrafiltrasyon membranlar ile; TMP, SMX ve DFN gibi sularda çok sıklıkla ve yüksek miktarlarda bulunabilen farmakolojik kirleticilerin %66 ’ya kadar çıkabilen bir verimle arıtılabildiği görülmüştür.
