The presence of pharmaceutical compounds in wastewater due to an increase in industrialization and urbanization is a serious health concern. The demand for diverse types of pharmaceutical compounds is expected to grow as there is continuous improvement in the global human health standards. Discharge of domestic pharmaceutical personal care products and hospital waste has aggravated the burden on wastewater management. Further, the pharmaceutical water is toxic not only to the aquatic organism but also to terrestrial animals coming in contact directly or indirectly. The pharmaceutical wastes can be removed by adsorption and/or degradation approach. Nanoparticles (NPs), such as 2D layers materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and carbonaceous nanomaterials are proven to be more efficient for adsorption and/or degradation of pharmaceutical waste. In addition, inclusion of NPs to form various composites leads to improvement in the waste treatment efficacy to a greater extent. Overall, carbonaceous nanocomposites have advantage in the form of being produced from renewable resources and the nanocomposite material is biodegradable either completely or to a great extent. A comprehensive literature survey on the recent advancement of pharmaceutical wastewater is the focus of the present article.
由于工业化和城市化的增加，废水中存在药物化合物是一个严重的健康问题。随着全球人类健康标准的不断提高，对各种类型药物化合物的需求预计将增长。国内药物个人护理产品和医院废物的排放增加了废水管理的负担。此外，药物废水不仅对水生生物有毒，而且对直接或间接接触的陆生动物也有毒。药物废物可以通过吸附和/或降解的方法去除。纳米粒子（NPs），如二维层状材料、金属有机骨架（MOFs）和碳纳米材料，已被证明在吸附和/或降解药物废物方面更有效。此外，将 NPs 纳入形成各种复合材料会在更大程度上提高废水处理效果。总的来说，碳纳米复合材料的优势在于它们是由可再生资源生产的，纳米复合材料在某种程度上是可生物降解的，或者完全可生物降解的。本文重点对药物废水的最新进展进行了全面的文献综述。
