Abstract :

Pharmaceutical waste is one of the major complex and toxic industrial wastes. The pharmaceutical industry employs various processes and a wide variety of raw materials to produce an array of final products needed to fulfill national demands. Generation of wastewater in industrial processes is sometimes unavoidable and in most of the cases a process to reduce the organic load. To remove part of the organic load, biological processes are usually used, because they are more economic than chemical processes. Many researchers have tried to find out different treatments for pharmaceutical wastewater to approaches worldwide; here an attempt is made to review some such researches done, with particular reference to Pharmaceutical wastewater effluent, in India and aoad also. This paper reviews various treatment methods for treating pharmaceutical waste water. Reviews from various researcher are referred in this study for various treatment methods of pharmaceutical waste water. These methods are oadly categorized into physico–chemical, biological and advanced oxidation processes.
