COD removal, Advanced Oxidation Process, Pharmaceutical wastewater, TiO2, H2O2Abstract
Advanced treatment of treated pharmaceutical wastewater has been studied with Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP).Advanced
oxidation processes (AOPs) are widely used for the removal of recalcitrant organic constituents from industrial and municipal
wastewater. In a laboratory study removal of COD was studied for the treated effluent collected from the outlet of effluent
treatment plant of the pharmaceutical industry by TiO2/H2O2. Batch experiments were conducted to determine the optimum dose
of TiO2/H2O2 for different time interval. 74% of COD removal was observed with TiO2/H2O2 dose of 1 g/L: 2 ml/L after 90 min
of reaction time.
