Abstract:
The current situation in the field of municipal and industrial waste water management in the Republic of Serbia is not adequate. Based on the report of the Serbian Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) for the year 2021, the percentage of the population connected to urban wastewater treatment with at least secondary treatment is approximately 15.2%, which indicates bad consequences for the state of the environment and sustainable development. The latest published data from the SEPA agency show that wastewater contains large amounts of harmful zinc, copper, chromium, arsenic, lead, nickel and their compounds. The technologies applied to treat micropollutants in water depend on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the compounds present in the water. On the basis of existing scientific knowledge, the expert public in the field of wastewater treatment, in addition to the standard mechanical procedure of previous treatment and conventional physical and chemical procedures, proposes four complementary procedures for the removal of micropollutants: Treatment of micropollutants by biological decomposition; Treatment of micropollutants by adsorption; Oxidation of micropollutants by physical-thermal techniques; Membrane separation for retention of micropollutants. In this paper is presents a statistical analysis of the participation of different types of micropollutants in wastewater in Serbia.
