Stability and Removal of Commonly Used Drugs in Environmental Water and Wastewater

Abstract

: Introduction: Pharmaceuticals are regarded as emerging contaminants in the environment. In recent years, their destiny and removal have piqued people’s interest. Methods: Examine how well conventional wastewater treatment facilities and cutting-edge technologies (ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis) can remove specific pharmaceutical compounds from water, with a focus on the compounds' environmental status, their origin, deterioration, metabolites, and the capacities of these facilities. Results and discussion: the ability and efficacy of sophisticated treatment technologies such as membrane separation, adsorption
