Evaluation of pharmaceutical removal through a full-scale UASB-CW system in a water-scarce Mediterranean region
The UASB reactor removed up to 90% of acetaminophen, while the CW further reduced PhACs, achieving 64–69% overall removal. To reduce environmental risks from reclaimed water irrigation, additional dilution or polishing treatment is advised.
