An increased interest in membrane filtration (Fig. pilotscale filtration unit @KdG Hogeschool) as water reclamation technology for industrial wastewater is observed. Disposal of the resulting concentrate remains however problematic. Our research project explores advanced oxidation processes (AOP) as a way to treat concentrates generated by membrane filtration of complex industrial effluents. The project focuses on the implementation of eco-toxicological parameters in process control and optimisation of advanced oxidation processes and advanced treatment of concentrates. An important part of the project consists of selection and validation of fast and user-friendly ecotoxicity tests which should allow detailed and near real-time monitoring of the selected wastewater treatment processess.
