A review of wastewater treatment technologies for the degradation of pharmaceutically active compounds: Carbamazepine as a case study

Nanosecond pulsed discharge with plasma-functionalized TiO2 for the high efficiency degradation of tetracycline

“…Traditional water purification approaches usually have limitations on treatment efficiency and typically * Author to whom any correspondence should be addressed. require the consumption of chemicals [2].

“…require the consumption of chemicals [2]. Recently, nonthermal plasma has been considered as an efficient and eco-friendly approach for water treatment [2][3][4]. During the plasma-water interactions, free electrons with high energy and strong oxidizing species are produced at the gas-liquid interface, which then induces further liquid-phase reactions and results in the removal of organic pollutants [3,5,6].…”

Bio-based Au Doping with Dominant Oxygen Vacancies and Ti3+ Defects on Photocatalytic Functionalities of TiO2

“…The continuous release and accretion of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in water bodies have become a global threat due to their persistence and hazardous impact even at very low concentrations. 1 Chloroquine (CLQ) is an antimalarial drug primarily used to treat malaria, rheumatoid arthritis, amoebic liver abscess, and lupus erythematosus. 2 Synthetic CLQ is an alternative to the natural antimalarial drug quinine, developed by Hans Andersag in the 1940s.…”

Microalgae-based technology for wastewater treatment: exploring organic micropollutants removal

“…CBZ was poorly removed in all experimental chapters (Chapter 2 to 5) and many other studies (De Wilt et al, 2016;Larsen et al, 2019;Escudero, 2020). Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as ozonation, Fenton, and electrochemical advanced oxidation processes, can efficiently remove CBZ by producing strong oxidative species, like ozone molecular and hydroxyl radicals (Wang and Wang, 2016;Völker et al, 2019;Feijoo et al, 2023). For example, under optimal conditions 99% of CBZ can be removed in 77 min (Feijoo et al, 2023).…”

Therefore, it can be beneficial to combine microalgae-based systems with AOPs, for an efficient removal of a variety of OMPs.…”
