Development in Wastewater Treatment Research and Processes: Innovative Trends in Removal of Refractory Pollutants from Pharmaceutical Waste Water sorts out emerging and burning issues faced by the pharmaceutical industry, along with common effluent treatment plans. The book provides a comprehensive view of recent advents of various novel, advanced and hybrid treatment technologies in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment to treat emerging pollutants released by the pharmaceutical industry in their untreated wastewater. In addition, the book gives insights into recent developments with a physico-chemical and microbiological focus on the treatment of emerging contaminants (pollutants) present in pharmaceutical wastewater.
