GRK 546: Elimination of Endocrine-Disrupting Substances From Waste Water

研究培训小组AGEESA调查了与消除污水中干扰内分泌物质有关的各种过程。AGEESA旨在了解处理厂可能的性能改进。由于传统的机械-生物废水处理厂不能去除内分泌干扰物质到令人满意的程度，更多的创新程序进行了测试，关于他们的保留和消除capability.AGEESA侧重于就业的膜技术在生物废水处理，其效果更高的活性污泥浓度和更高的污泥年龄比传统的活性污泥法。这也可以改善内分泌干扰物等持久性物质的降解。此外，这种生物处理无需最终沉淀，因为生物质被微滤膜或超滤膜保留。利用固定化抗体蛋白的高亲和力，AGEESA的生物团队研究了抗体过滤器的开发。这些项目得到了科学家的支持，他们将开发特殊的化学痕量分析和生物测定。

The research training group AGEESA inquires into various processes related to the elimination of endocrine-disrupting substances from sewage. AGEESA aims at knowledge about possible performance improvements of treatment plants. Since conventional mechanical-biological waste water treatment plants cannot remove endocrine-disrupting substances to a satisfactory extent, more innovative procedures are tested concerning their retention and elimination capacity.AGEESA focuses on the employment of membrane technology in biological waste water treatment, which effects higher concentrations of activated sludge and a higher sludge age than conventional activated sludge processes. This may also improve the degradation of persistent substances such as endocrine disrupters. Additionally, this kind of biological treatment dispenses with final sedimentation, since the biomass is retained by micro- or ultra-filtration membranes. Taking advantage of the high affinity of immobilised antibody proteins, AGEESA's biological team investigates into the development of antibody filters. The projects are supported by scientists who will develop special chemical trace analysis and bioassays.
