Abstract
This study aimed to investigate an integrated system that can deal with different pharmaceutical wastewater. Pharmaceutical wastewater was subjected to biological, chemical, and advanced oxidation according to its
pollutant’s nature. Wastewater with low Total Suspended Solids and Phenol
was directly subjected to biological treatment. Wastewater with high Total
Suspended Solids (TSS 480 mg/l) was subjected to a conventional chemical
treatment process utilizing different coagulants. The best results obtained
by using Calcium Oxide and Alum aided with Calcium Oxide where, the
removal efficiency of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) was 46.8% and 51
%. Highly loaded pharmaceutical wastewater with COD 9700 mg/l and
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of 1500 mg/l had been subjected to
Fenton oxidation, removal of COD reached 80.4%, and the ratio of
BOD/COD is enhanced to 0.6. Photocatalysis by using different
nanomaterials was applied to pharmaceutical wastewater containing 10
mg/l of phenols. Phenol is completely removed by using Mesoporous TiO2
after 90 min irradiation and after 120 min in the case of TiO2/P25 and
TiO2/UV 100 nanocomposites while it is removed by 40% in case of using
Mesoporous TiO2/Ta2O5. Effluent treated water from previous routes was
subjected to biological treatment and then followed with disinfection by
using UV as post-treatment.
