EVALUATION OF LINEZOLID ANTIBIOTIC REMOVAL FROM PHARMACEUTICAL WASTEWATER USING MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY

Performance evaluation of reverse osmosis technology for selected antibiotics removal from synthetic pharmaceutical wastewater

This study addresses the possibility for low pressure reverse osmosis membrane (RE 2521, CSM) process to serve as an alternative to remove selected antibiotics (ampicillin and amoxicillin) from synthetic wastewater by changing operating conditions such as pH = 3, 6.5 and 10; Pressure = 9, 11 and13 (bar); antibiotic concentration = 10, 255 and 500(mg/L), and temperature = 20, 30 and 40°C. The ex...

Efficient Removal of Diclofenac from Pharmaceutical Wastewater Using Impregnated Zeolite Catalyst in Heterogeneous Fenton Process

In this study, we report removal of Diclofenac (DCF) through heterogeneous Fenton process using Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst. The parent catalyst was prepared by hydrothermal technique. Fe species were introduced by wet impregnation. Characterization of the catalysts was carried out using XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, N2 adsorption-desorption, NH3-TPD, and acidimetric-alkalimetric titration. The bimetallic catalyst...

Integrating Membrane Bioreactor with Advanced TiO2 Photocatalytic Technology for the Removal of Pharmaceutical Drugs from Recycled Wastewater

The presence of pharmaceutical drugs and residues in wastewaters is of concern due the potential health and environmental risks when the wastewater is recycled as an alternative water source. This study investigated the application of an integrated membrane bioreactor with titanium dioxide photocatalytic technology (MBR-TiO2), as a combined treatment barrier to remove Carbamazepine (CBZ) from p...
