Removal of 39 contaminants of emerging concern found in wastewater effluent by coupling nanofiltration and infiltration into saturated soil column

[Display omitted] •Nanofiltration using NF-270 has shown interesting removal for all parameters studied.•Soil infiltration mainly retains or slow down positive compounds due to soil charge.•Nanofiltration permeate was used for the first time coupling with soil infiltration.•Contaminants of emerging concern are removed at 92% with coupling treatment.•22 out of the 39 compounds found in effluent were not detected after coupling.
