Development of Environmentally Safe Pharmaceutical Treatment Technology of Urban Territories Wastewater

Abstract

At present, one of the most important problems is the growing of environment pollution of Urban Development. Wastewater treatment generated in the manufacture of medicines and biologically active additives is of great importance for water bodies' sanitary protection. The sorption method provides a high degree of weakly concentrated wastewater purification, the absence of secondary pollution and the possibility of returning valuable components and water to the production. The purpose of the study was to develop an adsorption technology for wastewater treatment in the pharmaceutical industry containing flavonoids using semi-coke. Results of the study: The results of complex studies of the flavonoids - quercetin adsorption and rutin on active charcoals differing in raw materials, method of production, structure and chemistry of the surface are presented. The main equilibrium, kinetic and dynamic process parameters are calculated for engineering calculations. Importance of the research: The technology of wastewater adsorption treatment from pharmaceutical industries with subsequent regeneration of active coals is proposed, which will provide protection against water pollution and resource saving. The performed work showed the prospects of using the semi-coke "Puroolat-Standard", which is characterized by higher adsorption capacity and lower cost.
