Development in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes: Innovative Trends in Removal of Refractory Pollutants from Pharmaceutical Waste Water sorts out emerging and burning issues faced by the pharmaceutical industry, along with common effluent treatment plans. The book provides a comprehensive view of recent advents of various novel, advanced and hybrid treatment technologies in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment to treat emerging pollutants released by the pharmaceutical industry in their untreated wastewater. In addition, the book gives insights into recent developments with a physico-chemical and microbiological focus on the treatment of emerging contaminants (pollutants) present in pharmaceutical wastewater.
- Discusses fundamentals of physico-chemical and microbiological wastewater treatment systems, advantages, limitations and promising solutions of different types of emerging contaminants present in pharmaceutical wastewater
- Presents recent trends and developments in the removal of refractory organics (pollutants/contaminants) from pharmaceutical wastewater for achieving sustainable wastewater treatment
- Covers applications of various advanced and hybrid treatment technologies for the removal of emerging contaminants from pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plants
- Includes hybrid treatment technologies, their design and application in the removal of pharmaceutical wastewater contaminants
- Addresses challenges for the full-scale implementation of bioreactors for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment
