REMOVAL OF PHARMACEUTICALS BY HYBRID MEMBRANE FILTRATION AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS BY INTEGRATED MEMBRANE SYSTEM FROM WASTE WATER Authors: Pathan A and Shrivastav A*
ABSTRACT
Water treatment technologies have been developed because pharmaceuticals and personal
care products (PPCPs) have negative impacts on people’s health and aquatic life and also their
continuous accession. Effective simultaneous degeneration and segregation mechanisms have
risen by hybrid membrane processes. Minute, integrated and firm pharmaceuticals still remain in
the treated water, after the use of common membrane filtration techniques. An advance oxidation
process oxidizes uncontrollable, imperishable and noxious compounds into plentiful by-products
and lastly, through the intermediate hydroxyl and other radicals, chemically inactive endproducts are formed. A complementing effect is exerted by the membrane hybrid advance
oxidation processes in the removal of membrane fouling and intensifying potential of membrane.
From wastewater, before the effluent enters into the aquatic environment membrane bioreactor
and hybrid membrane technologies have potential to decrease the micro contaminants. The basic
aspects of elimination and modification of certain pharmaceuticals through membranes and
advance oxidation processes and also the application of membrane bioreactor treatment for
elimination of personal care products in waste water are explained in this review.
