Improve wastewater treatment management through innovative, efficient and environmentally friendly technology to obtain treated water free of emerging pollutants (EPs). To do this, we will develop and validate a system that eliminates EPs and other pathogens from wastewater that will consist of an adsorption system of cyclodextrin polymers (CDs) coupled with advanced oxidation processes (AOP). The designed technology will be tested in a WWTP where wastewater will be collected continuously and introduced into a filter filled with adsorbent material of Cyclodextrins. 02 At the outlet of this adsorption process, a photocatalysis unit will be installed to remove by oxidation any remaining pollutant that is not retained. 03 The cyclodextrin desorption product full of pollutants will be accumulated in a reject tank for further treatment by means of a pulsed light system that will destroy the pollutants that were adsorbed by the CDs. 04 The application of this treatment system in a WWTP will be of demonstrative character and will allow its application in other WWTPs in order to remove EPs from the outgoing wastewater. Laboratory prototype Semi-industrial prototype o Tests carried out so far have shown that the proposed combination of technologies is able to remove up to 90% of EPs present in treated wastewater, both pharmaceuticals and phytosanitary products. o The ultrafiltration stage, after the water has passed through the CDs, ensures and maintains the disinfection of the wastewater, complying with EU Regulation (2020/741), while increasing the useful life of the CDs, which have a high number of cycles. Assessment of the technical and economic feasibility of the proposed technology for its commercialisation and implementation at industrial level.
