AB The performance of a pilot-scale thin-layer cascade photobioreactor, operated in semicontinuous mode, for the removal of veterinary drug residues and other contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) from pig manure has been assessed in six operation stages. Chlorella sp. (70–90%), Scenedesmus sp. (10–25%) and Diatomea (<5%) comprise the microalgae species present during the stages. The global performance to remove the total CEC content in the photobioreactor effluent varied from 62 to 86% on each stage, while an CEC mean amount close to 8% was accumulated in the photobioreactor biomass. A relation with weather conditions was not observed. Elimination ratio was not related to the concentration in the influent which reached up to 8000 ng L−1 for some CECs. As expected, the concentrations of veterinary drugs were higher than those of non-veterinary CECs. The concentrations accumulated in the grown biomass were relative low, lower than 10 ng per fresh g excepting for a few cases. However, statistical data suggested that the linkage of CECs to microalgae biomass boosted their removal from the influent. Furthermore, it was observed that the manure liquid phase contained higher amounts of CECs than the solid phase.
