Abstract
Recently, water pollution is the serious environmental threat throughout the world. Water environment can be polluted by several ways. Amongst that, pharmaceutical industry wastewater assumes a noteworthy part, which varies colossally in flow and composition, contingent upon variables, for example, production rate, the particular preparation being completed, which activities are producing the waste water, etc. Every one of these factors imply that the contamination of the last emanating can be exceptionally various and variable after some time. In perspective of the shortage of water assets, it is important to comprehend and create methodologies for treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater as a feature of water administration. The arrival of graphene and grapheme based materials in water appears an inescapable outcome of the monstrous future utilization of these carbonaceous allotropes. From a natural designing perspective, it ought to be noticed that piece of the watery streams containing these nanomaterials will wind up in wastewater treatment plants, and there will be cooperation between the nanomaterials, other toxins in the sewage, which could influence the viability of the depuration procedure.
