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 day to day by the pharmaceutical industry and common effluent treatment plants. It 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. The book gives an insight in recent developments through a physico-chemical and microbiological focus in the treatment of emerging contaminants (pollutants) present in pharmaceutical wastewater.
