Dr. Antonio Carlos S. C. Teixeira (Ms., 1993, Ph.D., 1998, University of Sao Paulo) is Assistant Professor at the Chemical Engineering Department, University of São Paulo, Brazil, since 2005, and member of the Chemical Systems Engineering Center (CESQ) and of the National Institute of Science and Technology for Environmental Studies (INCT-EMA). He is lecturing Chemical Reactor Engineering, Mass and Energy Conservation, and Advanced Water and Wastewater Treatment Engineering. He has supervised 20 M.Sc., 14 Ph.D. students and 7 post-doc fellows. He is currently supervising 2 post-doctoral fellow, 5 Ph.D., 3 M.Sc., and 3 undergraduate students. He holds as author and co-author of 119 refereed journal papers, 360 communications in scientific meetings, one patent and 11 book chapters. He is the coordinator of the Research Group in Advanced Oxidation Processes (AdOx). His research interests include development of advanced processes for the treatment of liquid and gaseous effluents; advanced oxidative processes; photochemical processes; degradation of micropollutants (drugs and pesticides) in water and wastewater; photoinduced degradation of micropollutants in aqueous matrices; development of microstructured photoreactors by 3D printing; homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalysis. He is a member of the International Scientific Committee of CIPOA - Iberoamerican Conference on Advanced Oxidation Technologies and a member of the Organizing Committee of ABPOA - Brazilian Association of Advanced Oxidative Processes.

Micro-pollutants of emerging concern have imposed a major technological challenge: pesticides, drugs and other anthropogenic substances are increasingly found in aquatic ecosystems and even in water supply, being related to adverse effects on biota and human health. Overcoming this challenge requires understanding the behavior of these species in the environment and the development of tec…
Micropollutants of emerging concern have become an important technological challenge to be faced by 21st century engineers. Pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hormones, surfactants, personal care products and other anthropogenic substances are evermore present in aquatic ecosystems and even in water supplies, and have been related to adverse effects to the biota and to human health. To overcome…

Contaminants of emerging concern (ECs) are potentially toxic compounds that are difficult to remove by traditional effluent treatment processes, detected in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, seas, etc. Recently, 45 ECs were identified in the rivers of the Piracicaba, Capivari and Jundiaí (PCJ) basin, including bisphenol A (BPA), 1-bromo-4-fluorobenzene (p-BFB), 2-fluorbiphenyl, dichloroacetic ac…
Contaminants of emerging concern are released into the environment from domestic, hospital and industrial effluents, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, personal care products, surfactants, hormones and industrial compounds, among others. Due to their toxicity and environmental impacts, special treatment of the effluent is necessary in order to avoid poisoning living beings, ecological…
On the world stage, mosquito-borne diseases, in particular dengue fever, represent a major public health issue today and are mainly spread by Aedes aegypti, whose larval development takes place in aquatic environments. In view of the still limited vaccine prophylaxis coverage for the disease, it is understood that the ideal control measure available is larval elimination. Thus, the use of…

Peroxidases are enzymes of high commercial value that use peroxides to biocatalyze numerous reactions in the presence of organic and inorganic substrates. Recent studies with peroxidases aim at their application in the environmental area, in view of their ability to biodegrade pollutants. In general, the studies with peroxidases are developed in batch systems, and therefore there is an im…
Advanced oxidative processes (AOP) have gained prominence as an alternative to efficiently remove several contaminants of emerging concern from water and wastewater. There is special emphasis on the use of active photocatalysts in the visible range, synthesized by doping semiconductors with noble metals or by obtaining heterojunctions. As an example of such materials, mention is made of t…
Pesticides have been intensively used around the world to control pests in agriculture, raising environmental concerns associated with the toxicity of these compounds to humans and other organisms. Particularly, metribuzin (MTZ), classified as an emerging contaminant of environmental concern, is toxic to the environment. Added to this problem is the presence of microplastics in surface wa…

The presence of contaminants of emerging concern, such as pharmaceuticals, in the environment has caused growing alarm worldwide, as these compounds can spread serious problems for aquatic ecosystems and humans. Their occurrence in aqueous matrices has shown that conventional wastewater treatment methods are ineffective in removing most of these compounds, therefore, new and more effectiv…
The presence of contaminants of emerging concern, such as antibiotics, in the environment has caused growing alarm worldwide as these compounds can drive the spread of bacterial resistance. Their occurrence in aqueous matrices has shown that conventional wastewater treatment methods are ineffective in removing most of these compounds, therefore, new and more effective treatment processes …
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases, affecting around 50 million people worldwide. Treatment with antiepileptic drugs can eliminate seizure episodes, thus being a pharmaceutical class of medical importance. Carbamazepine is one of the antiepileptics commonly found in wastewater in its original form, reaching concentrations up to 442 mg/L, thus creating an environmenta…
Antidepressants are highly prescribed drugs worldwide, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, in which many people developed clinical cases of depression and anxiety, mainly due to stress and the need for social isolation. This increase has brought ecological concerns, since most of these compounds are difficult to degrade in traditional wastewater treatment systems. Fluoxetine hydrochlo…
