Pharmaceutical Industry Wastewater: Review of the Technologies for Water Treatment and Reuse
Chandrakanth Gadipelly,A. Pérez-González,Ganapati D. Yadav,Inmaculada Ortiz,Raquel Ibañez,Virendra K. Rathod,Kumudini V. Marathe +6 more
TL;DR: The use of conventional treatment methods along with membrane reactors and advanced posttreatment methods resulting in a hybrid wastewater treatment technology appear to be the best and will prove useful for treatment of wastewater from the pharmaceutical industry.

Membrane Bioreactors for Industrial Wastewater Treatment: A Critical Review
Hongjun Lin,Weijue Gao,Fangang Meng,Bao-Qiang Liao,K.T. Leung,Leihong Zhao,Jianrong Chen,Huachang Hong +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed and analyzed more than 300 scientific publications to provide an overview of the most recent development of MBR technology for treatment of industrial wastewaters (e.g., food processing, pulp and paper, textile, tannery, landfill leachate).

Chronic impact of tetracycline on the biodegradation of an organic substrate mixture under anaerobic conditions.
Zeynep Cetecioglu,Bahar Ince,Meritxell Gros,Sara Rodríguez-Mozaz,Damià Barceló,Damià Barceló,Derin Orhon,Orhan Ince +7 more
TL;DR: The adverse long-term impact of the antibiotic tetracycline was quite variable for fermenting heterotrophic and methanogenic fractions of the microbial community based on changes inflicted on the composition of remaining/residual organic substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater: A critical review
TL;DR: The environmental impact of antibiotic residues and health risk of spreading of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) were assessed to offer an in-depth understanding of the growing concern on the discharge of treated pharmaceutical effluent.

Standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater
TL;DR: The most widely read reference in the water industry, Water Industry Reference as discussed by the authors, is a comprehensive reference tool for water analysis methods that covers all aspects of USEPA-approved water analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of carbohydrate degradation and the rate-limiting step in anaerobic digestion.
TL;DR: The rate of the hydrolysis of cellulose was so low that this was shown to be the rate‐limiting step in overall anaerobic digestion and elucidated the true rate‐ Limiting step of an aerobic digestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of an up-flow anaerobic stage reactor (UASR) in the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater containing macrolide antibiotics
TL;DR: In this article, an up-flow anaerobic stage reactor (UASR) was developed with an active reactor volume of 11 L being divided into four 2.75 L stages.
Up-flow anaerobic stage reactor (uasr) in the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater containing macrolide antibiotics
TL;DR: Whether a UASR could be used as pre-treatment system at an existing pharmaceutical production plant to reduce the antibiotics in the trade effluent was determined and an average of 95% Tylosin reduction was achieved in the UASr, indicating that this antibiotic could be degraded efficiently in the anaerobic reactor system.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of organic loading rate on the performance of UASB reactor treating slaughterhouse effluent
TL;DR: In this paper, an organic loading rate (OLR) is an important parameter significantly affecting microbial ecology and characteristics of UASB systems and it is shown that removal efficiencies in the range of 75-90% were achieved at feed SCOD concentrations of 3000-4500 mg l−1.
