PHARMACOS HAVE BEEN SELECTED AS CONTAMINANTS TO BE STUDIED, BEING ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FAMILIES OF THE SO-CALLED EMERGING CONTAMINANTS THAT ARE WIDELY DETECTED IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

EL OBJETIVO GENERAL DE ESTE PROYECTO ES EL DE DESARROLLAR PROCESOS BIOLOGICOS DE DEGRADACION DE LOS FARMACOS PRESENTES EN EFLUENTES DE HOSPITAL. SE HAN SELECCIONADO LOS FARMACOS COMO CONTAMINANTES A ESTUDIAR, AL SER UNA DE LAS FAMILIAS MAS IMPORTANTES DE LOS LLAMADOS ¿CONTAMINANTES EMERGENTES¿ Y QUE SE DETECTAN AMPLIAMENTE EN EL MEDIO AMBIENTE. LOS OBJETIVOS ESPECIFICOS PARA ALCANZAR ESTE OBJETIVO GENERAL, SE PUEDEN ENGLOBAR EN TRES GRANDES BLOQUES MAS UNO DE COORDINACION. EN UN PRIMER BLOQUE, SE PRETENDE ADQUIRIR CONOCIMIENTOS FUNDAMENTALES ACERCA DE LOS PROCESOS Y MECANISMOS DE DEGRADACION QUE LOS MICROORGANISMOS (HONGOS, ALGAS Y BACTERIAS) EMPLEAN EN LA ELIMINACION DE LOS FARMACOS, ESPECIALMENTE DE AQUELLOS COMPUESTOS MENOS ESTUDIADOS HASTA EL MOMENTO (CITOSTATICOS, PSICOFARMACOS, COMPUESTOS HALOGENADOS, ETC). EL GRUPO ACUMULA UNA AMPLIA EXPERIENCIA DE INVESTIGACION ACERCA DE DEGRADACION DE CONTAMINANTES POR HONGOS (A TRAVES EN PARTE DE VARIOS PROYECTOS DE INVESTIGACION SOBRE ESTE TEMA INCLUIDO EL ACTUALMENTE VIGENTE DEGRAPHARMAC). POR OTRO LADO, DADOS LOS RESULTADOS PROMETEDORES DE PREVIOS ESTUDIOS EXPLORATORIOS CON ALGAS Y BACTERIAS DEHALOGENADORAS, HACE QUE DICHOS MICROORGANISMOS SEAN OBJETO DE ESTUDIO DETALLADO EN ESTE PRIMER BLOQUE. EN EL SEGUNDO BLOQUE (CONSIDERADO EL ¿CORAZON¿ DEL PROYECTO) SE DESARROLLARAN PROCESOS DE DEPURACION EN CONTINUO DE EFLUENTES REALES CON HONGOS (LOS ORGANISMOS MEJOR CARACTERIZADOS) Y SE EXPLORARA SU IMPLEMENTACION TAMBIEN CON ALGAS. PARA EL ESTUDIO EXHAUSTIVO DEL PROCESO BASADO EN HONGOS Y PARA SU APLICACION AL TRATAMIENTO DE EFLUENTES HOSPITALARIOS SE INCLUYE I) LA EVALUACION DE LOS PARAMETROS CONVENCIONALES DE DEPURACION A LO LARGO DEL PROCESO, II) LA DETERMINACION DE LOS PARAMETROS DE DISEÑO PARA UN CAMBIO DE ESCALA EN EL TRATAMIENTO, III) LA EVALUACION DEL RENDIMIENTO DE ELIMINACION DE FARMACOS, IV) LA IDENTIFICACION DE SUS PRODUCTOS DE TRANSFORMACION, V) LA MEDIDA DE LA ECOTOXICIDAD DE LOS EFLUENTES Y VI) LA CARACTERIZACION DE LAS POBLACIONES MICROBIANAS EN EL REACTOR A LO LARGO DEL PROCESO. PERO ADEMAS, SE ESTUDIARA EL ACOPLAMIENTO AL PROCESO DE DEPURACION CON HONGOS DE POSIBLES PRETRATAMIENTOS DE FILTRACION Y DE OXIDACION AVANZADA PARA MEJORAR LA EFICIENCIA DEGRADACION. EN ESTE SEGUNDO BLOQUE TAMBIEN SE DISEÑARA UN FOTOBIOREACTOR PILOTO CON ALGAS PARA ESTUDIAR LA DEGRADACION DE FARMACOS PRIMERAMENTE EN AGUAS RESIDUALES URBANAS Y SI ES POSIBLE TAMBIEN EFLUENTES DE HOSPITAL, LOS CUALES EN PRINCIPIO PUEDEN RESULTAR MAS TOXICOS O AGRESIVOS PARA LAS ALGAS._x000D_ _x000D_ EL TERCER OBJETIVO ESPECIFICO DEL PROYECTO, Y QUE COMPLEMENTA LOS DOS ANTERIORES, CONSISTE EN EVALUAR NO SOLO LA EFECTIVIDAD DE LOS PROCESOS PLANTEADOS ANTERIORMENTE, SINO LA SOSTENIBILIDAD DE DICHOS PROCESOS. PARA ELLO SE EMPLEARAN HERRAMIENTAS COMO EL ANALISIS DEL CICLO DE VIDA, LA DEL ESTUDIO DE IMPACTO SOBRE EL ECOSISTEMA DE LOS EFLUENTES DEPURADOS Y LA EVALUACION ECONOMICA. _x000D_ _x000D_ PARA CUMPLIR CON TODOS ESTOS OBJETIVOS ES NECESARIA LA PARTICIPACION DE INVESTIGADORES DE DIFERENTES DISCIPLINAS. POR ESTE MOTIVO SE PLANTEA UN PROYECTO COORDINADO ENTRE INGENIEROS QUIMICOS (UAB), ESPECIALISTAS EN QUIMICA AMBIENTAL (ICRA) Y MICROBIOLOGOS (UAB). ASI PUES, EL CUARTO BLOQUE DE OBJETIVOS INCLUYE LAS TAREAS DE COORDINACION ENTRE LOS GRUPOS DE TRABAJO, ASI COMO LA INTERACCION CON LOS EPOS O ENTIDADES INTERESADAS EN LOS RESULTADOS Y SE DESARROLLARA A LO LARGO DE TODO EL PROYECTO.

THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES OF DEGRADATION OF PHARMACOS PRESENT IN HOSPITAL EFFLUENTS. PHARMACOS HAVE BEEN SELECTED AS CONTAMINANTS TO BE STUDIED, BEING ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FAMILIES OF THE SO-CALLED EMERGING CONTAMINANTS THAT ARE WIDELY DETECTED IN THE ENVIRONMENT. THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES TO ACHIEVE THIS GENERAL OBJECTIVE CAN BE ENCOMPASSED IN THREE MAJOR BLOCKS PLUS ONE OF COORDINATION.
