Currently, the production and consumption of pharmaceuticals is growing exponentially, making them emerging contaminants that cause hazards to ecological environment human health. These drugs have been detected in surface water drinking around world. This indicates conventional treatments used are ineffective for removal these compounds from water, since they very complex, with high stability persistence aquatic environments. Considering this problem, several types alternative treatments, such as advanced oxidative processes, studied. Of these, AOPs using irradiation received increasing interest due their fast reaction rate ability generate oxidizing species, which leads an efficient degradation mineralization organic compounds, thus improving quality allowing its reuse. Therefore, review, we focus on advances made last five years irradiated different classes pharmaceutical compounds. The articles address study parameters, method synthesis materials, oxidants used, treatment time, type light toxicity effluents. review highlights success hopes help readers better understand processes limitations removing environment. It also sheds some paths future research must follow so technology can be fully applied.

Versatile Eco‐Friendly Activated Carbon–Based Green Catalysts: Energy and Environmental Applications

ChemBioEng Reviews, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 30, 2025

Abstract Biomass‐derived activated carbon (AC) offers a sustainable solution for energy and environmental applications. Compared to coal‐based AC, biomass‐derived AC reduces impact while maintaining high porosity adsorption capacity. Its synthesis involves carbonization activation, enhancing properties. Efficiency depends on particle size, surface area, pore structure, functional groups. Smaller particles higher areas enhance adsorption, whereas micropores serve as primary sites. Functional groups influence chemical interactions. Regeneration methods extend usability. AC‐based catalysts improve hydrogen production biodiesel synthesis. In wastewater treatment, iron oxide–impregnated enhances dye removal, titania/AC composites boost photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. also plays crucial role in dioxide (CO 2 ) capture, with potassium hydroxide (KOH)‐synthesized optimizing micropore formation. faces challenges biomass supply, logistics, regeneration efficiency, selectivity, requiring innovative activation modifications.

This study was assessed the physicochemical characteristics of wastewater discharged from Tirunesh Beijing General Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The results were evaluated concerning compliance with standards set by Ethiopian Environmental Protection Agency. showed that significant deviations EEPA. Especially, pH value within accepted range at 7.05 ± 0.19, while EC a very high 1.576 0.0043 µS/cm exceeded standard 1 µS/cm.
