Engineers, Pharmacists and Chemists Collaborating on the Development of an Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) to Remove Antibiotics from Hospital Wastewater

The project proposes to use an aerobic granular sludge (AGS) - a technology based on microbial community - to remove antibiotics and antimicrobial resistant genes from hospital wastewater. AGS is one of the latest innovations and it has not yet been applied for the treatment of hospital wastewater.
