In our experiment, they were isolated from wastewater using the solid phase extraction method. In the case of sludge, pressurized solvent extraction techniques were used followed by solid phase extraction. The solid phase extraction method was used for purification and concentration. Sulphonamide and diaminopyrimidine antibiotics were determined using high performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection. The selected antibiotics were determined in real sludge samples collected from the wastewater treatment plant in Brno-Mod^ice and in real wastewater samples collected from the wastewater treatment plant located on the grounds of the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno, using the developed and optimized method. Analyses showed that real samples of wastewater contained sulphathiazole 11.82μg/L at the inflow （7.1 μg/L at the outflow）, sulphapyridine 18.57 I.tg/L （12.2 μg/L）, sulphamethazine 13.52 μg/L （8.44 μg/L）, sulphamethoxazole 14.06 lag/L （9.34 Ixg/L） and trimethoprim 521.4 lag/L （422.29 μg/L）. Here it is demonstrated that drugs are removed through the wastewater treatment procedure only partially.展开更多
