Screening and Quantitation of Micro-Pollutants from Sewage Water in the Process of Bank Filtration Using UHPLC-HRAM

This application note demonstrates how bank filtration using UHPLC-HRAM can help to generate a closed water cycle in areas of limited water availability. Screening for and quantitation of micropollutants was carried out along a transect at the lake Tegeler See in the city of Berlin, Germany. Using UHPLC-HRAM – high resolution accurate mass spectrometry, several contaminants could be detected and quantified, and their behavior under different redox conditions was studied.
