A novel advanced bio-oxidation system for the treatment of real wastewater and emerging contaminants based on white-rot fungi immobilized in a continuous rotating biological contactor

These days, fast social development and inappropriate disposal of used water have produced an increase in wastewater generation. New emerging contaminants (ECs) have been detected in the environment, being responsible for negative eco-toxicological and bio-accumulative effects on the aquatic life (Mendoza et al., 2014).
