[en] The European Water Framework Directive aims a sustainable and ecological water management. An important part of its implementation is the prevention of entries of point sources. Wastewater treatment plants and industrial plant effluents represent relevant point source entries into surface waters. Therefore, special attention must be paid to their composition. The aim of the project presented is the chemical and toxicological evaluation of a new extended advanced oxidation process (AOP) for the elimination of micropollutants. For this purpose, a combination of ozonation and photocatalysis will be investigated. A post-treatment step with activated carbon is intended to reduce the transformation products formed by the oxidative treatment and to remove remaining micropollutants.
