Abstract

The current study focuses on the occurrence of selected endocrine disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals and personal care products in Lake Huron Water and their removal using ozone/hydrogen peroxide based pre-coagulation, advanced oxidation process (AOP). Raw Lake Huron water spiked with nine target compounds was treated in a dual train pilot scale treatment plant. None of the target chemicals showed any significant removals following conventional treatment processes (coagulation, sedimentation and filtration). Five of the nine target pollutants plummeted to concentrations below the method detection limits following AOP. For all the target compounds AOP treatment provided higher removal compared to conventional treatment.
