Abstract
An increase in pharmaceutical compound consumption around the world has gained considerable attention due to detection and presence of these persistent and non-biodegradable compounds in the environment, particularly aquatic media. As a result, pharmaceutical residues pose potential health and environmental risks. Unfortunately, current conventional wastewater/water treatment plants are not efficient at removing these compounds, and so they are detected in the effluent of the plants.
To tackle hazardous compounds, various treatment techniques have been proposed since now that among them adsorption might be nominated as a promising treatment method. This review tries to highlight the efficiency of the conventional water/wastewater treatment plants at removing the pharmaceutical compounds. Furthermore, the major influencing parameters affecting the adsorption process were studied, and various isotherm and kinetics were considered to explain the mechanism. The last section of the chapter emphasises on the adsorbents that have been employed for drug adsorption.
