Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment using free and immobilized Cyanobacteria

pharmaceutical wastewater treatment using subcritical and supercritical water technology

the presence of pharmaceutical compounds in the environment and waste streams has received lots of attention in recent years due to its adverse effects on the health of different organism. the emerging of these compounds in the environment is a growing concern and recent researches have focused on finding new ways for enhancing the pharmaceutical compound’s removal efficiency in the effluent of...

Ammonia Wastewater Treatment by Immobilized Activated Sludge

Evaluation of the Treatment of Pharmaceutical Industry Wastewater Using Chemical and Biological Methods (Case Study: Treatment of Wastewater Produced by Production of Methadone and Capecitabine)

Background & objectives: Pharmaceutical wastewater contains high concentrations of organic matter, high salt and difficult biodegradability, so it must be treated before discharge to the environment. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater (methadone feedstock and neutralized capecitabine) using chemical and biological methods. Methods: The laboratory ...

Low-Cost Pre-Treatment of Pharmaceutical Wastewater

Pharmaceutical industries and effluents of sewage treatment plants are the main sources of residual pharmaceuticals in water resources. These emergent pollutants may adversely impact the biophysical environment. Pharmaceutical industries often generate wastewater that changes in characteristics and quantity depending on the used manufacturing processes. Carbamazepine (CBZ), {5Hdibenzo [b,f]azep...

Anaerobic Biotechnology for Pharmaceutical Wastewater Treatment

The wastewater generated from the pharmaceutical industry contain high organic load and the treatment are primarily carried out using two major types of biological methods; aerobic and anaerobic. However, due to high strength, it is infeasible to treat some pharmaceutical wastewater using aerobic biological processes. As an alternative, an anaerobic process is preferred to remove high strength ...
