In the diploma thesis, there is a brief description of antibiotics, their types, action mechanisms, chemical structure and why bacteria become resistant to them. After that, a description of wastewater treatment plants and their working progress takes place, followed by a more detailed description of advanced oxidation processes with a closer look into the reactions of different advanced oxidation processes, which are being enforced in wastewater treatment plant systems. Advanced oxidation processes can enhance the biodegradability of wastewater, which helps with the removal of antibiotics present in wastewater and to reduce their emissions into the environment.
