Abstract
In this study, we examined the breakdown of pharmaceutical wastewater, which is complex and contains high levels of organic substances, microbial toxicity, and salt, making it challenging to decompose and posing an environmental risk due to its persistence as a chemical pollutant. To mitigate environmental contamination, the majority of the pharmaceutical sector employs various treatment facilities to clean and recycle wastewater. Through a review of existing literature, we explored the sources, uses, and progress in removing dissolved organic compounds from pharmaceutical wastewater. We discussed several recent methods used for treating pharmaceutical waste. It was found that while effective technologies exist, there is a need for further development within the industry. Integrated treatment strategies hold great potential, such as the common effluent treatment plant (CETP), which is currently experiencing significant growth and success, provided there is a strong commitment from the scientific community and regulatory bodies to enforce policies.
