Abstract

In this study, degradation affinities of 14 antibiotics and one metabolite were determined in batch experiments. A modelling framework was applied to decrypt potential ranges of abiotic, biotic and photolytic degradation coefficients. In detail, we performed batch experiments with three different sewages in the dark at 7 °C and 22 °C. Additionally, we conducted further batch experiments with artificial irradiation and different dilutions of the sewage at 30 °C - de novo three different sewages were used. The batch experiments were initially spiked with a stock solution with 14 antibiotics and one metabolite to increase background concentrations by 1 μg L-1 for each compound. The final antibiotic concentrations were sub-inhibitory with regard to sewage bacteria. The here presented modelling framework based on the Activated Sludge Model No. 3 in combination with adsorption and desorption processes. The model was calibrated with monitored standard sewage compounds before antibiotic degradation rates were quantified. The model decrypted ranges of abiotic, biotic and photolytic degradation coefficients. In detail, six antibiotics were not abiotic degradable at 7 °C, five antibiotics not at 22 °C and only 2 antibiotics at 30 °C. Fina...Continue Reading
