Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

D04b – Removal of pharmaceuticals from surface water

Course subject(s) D04b – Removal of pharmaceuticals from surface water

In this lecture, PhD graduate Arne Verliefde talks about a relative new problem for the production of drinking water from surface water: pharmaceuticals.
He explains how these products are migrated into surface water, and their potential threats at concentrations found in surface water. Thereafter he discusses the removal of these products by advanced oxydation, adsorption on activated carbon, biological processes and membrane filtration.
In the last part of his lecture he foccusses on the removal of these products by membrane filtration.
