This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the increasing occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the water supply, in particular Ciprofloxacin. Research goals are presented and include: remove the pharmaceutically active
compound, ciprofloxacin, from drinking
water;
assess the residual pharmaceutical
activity of treated water; and,
determine the effects of organic
matter on treatment efficiency. Experimental materials and methods included: Ciprofloxacin; organic matter; ozone reactor; peroxone reactor; and, MIC assay. Ozonation results are presented, along with results for MIC assay. Conclusions indicate that: Ciprofloxacin was effectively removed via liquid
addition ozonation;
organic matter affects ciprofloxacin oxidation and
the formation/destruction of intermediate
products;
residual antibiotic activity was successfully
monitored using a modified MIC assay;
organic matter content affects antibiotic activity; intermediate oxidation products contribute to
antibiotic activity; and,
considering treatment efficiency in terms of
parent compound removal is not enough. Includes figures.
