Pharmaceuticals in wastewater and their photocatalytic degradation using nano-enabled photocatalysts

Journal of Water Process Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 54, P. 103880 - 103880

Pharmaceuticals in the concentration range of hundreds ng/L to μg/L occur wastewater and end up surface water, groundwater agricultural land where they cause various health risks. These pollutants are classified as emerging cannot be efficiently removed by conventional treatment processes. The use nano-enabled photocatalysts removal pharmaceuticals aquatic systems has recently received research attention owing their enhanced properties effectiveness. industrial scale application photocatalytic technology is still limited. A comprehensive review on from real using therefore necessary. This paper reviews literature occurrence, fate, nano-sized strategies wastewater. Modifications through doping, deposition supports, introducing magnetic character enhance efficiency recyclability were discussed. synthetic routes influence physical chemical which can either or inhibit benefits degradation include easy recycling exhibit excellent stability, used for several cycles. Going forward, should focus on: (1) elucidation photodegradation mechanisms, (2) at remove multiple pharmaceutical compounds, (3) regeneration, disposal particularly towards large application, (4) life cycle assessment synthesis (5) lowering cost improving efficiency, (6) investigating toxicity intermediates photocatalyst environment.

The presence of trace organic pollutants in the effluent wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) poses considerable risks to aquatic organisms and human health. A large-scale survey 302 46 Chinese WWTPs was conducted gain an improved understanding their occurrence ecological risks. data showed that 216 compounds 11 chemical classes had been detected effluents. sum concentrations contaminants ranged from 1,392 ng/L 35,453 ng/L, with maximum concentration perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) recorded as highest (30,573 ng/L), which markedly less than reported 185,000 for 38 American WWTPs. bisphenol analogs (BPs) up 4,422 significantly higher those France, Germany, Japan, Korea, U.S. PFASs BPs were major pollutants, accounting 59% total pollution. Additionally, a 119 found have (RQ > 0.01). Among these, 23 1.0) warrant attention should be prioritized removal. This study lists valuable information controlling priority WWTP China.
