Bianco Prevot (eds.), Soluble Bio-based Substances Isolated From Urban Wastes, SpringerBriefs in Green Chemistry for Sustainability, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-14744-4_2 Abstract Soluble bio-based substances (SBO) extracted from urban bio-wastes have similar chemical properties to humic substances (HS) present in natural waters and soils. Therefore, SBO are also...

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 ...
