Pharmaceuticals from effluent

Wastewater contains increasing amounts of pharmaceutical residues. Since the WWTPs are not designed to remove them from the water, the plants’ effluent frequently still contains pharmaceuticals. Many techniques for the removal of these pharmaceuticals, and other micropollutants,…
