摘要:The pharmaceutical industry includes the manufacture, extraction, processing, purification, and packaging of chemical materials to be used as medications for humans or animals. Each of these steps may generate air emissions, liquid effluents, and solid wastes. Wastewaters produced from pharmaceutical industries, such as antibiotic manufacture and formulation, generally contain high levels of soluble organics, many of which are recalcitrant.

It also provides a brief idea about the treatment methods available for pharmaceutical waste water
