Pharmaceutical compounds are emerging environmental issue due to their continuous input and persistence to aquatic ecosystem even at low trace concentration. The aim of the present review is to find the effective way to reduce the pollutants in the pharmaceutical wastewater. There are several studies in the aim to develop new processes and new technologies to minimize the volume and toxicity of effluents generated by pharmaceutical industry wastewater. It demonstrates that Advanced oxidation process in a system can be a promising technology to treat pharmaceutical wastewater characterized by simultaneous presence of biodegradable and refractory inhibitory compounds.

Salah satu industry farmasi di Semarang, Jawa Tengah menggunakan koagulan Poly Alumunium Chloride (PAC) untuk mengolah limbah cair. Penggunaan PAC atas dasar kelayakan biaya dan efektivitas pengolahan. Apabila ditinjau dari aspek lingkungan, penggunaan koagulan sintetik dalam jumlah besar akan menimbulkan limbah lumpur yang sulit didegradasi, dan mampu mengubah tingkat keasaman air dan tanah disekitarnya, sehingga berdampak buruk bagi lingkungan. Pada penelitian ini kitosan digunakan sebagai nano bio koagulan untuk mengolah limbah cair industri farmasi. Variasi dosis nano bio koagulan dan kecepatan pengadukan dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi efisiensi penyisihan parameter Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), kekeruhan, dan Total Suspended Solid (TSS), limbah. Nani bio koagulan dibuat dari Cangkang keong Sawah (Pila Ampullacea) dan ukuran biokoagulan dibuat skala  nano partikel dengan harapan mampu meningkatkan efektifitas penyisihan. Metode persiapan berupa deproteinasi, demineralisasi dan deasetilasi. Proses nano partikel menggunakan alat HEM, ukuran partikel diuji menggunakan SEM dan uji gugus fungsi menggunakan FTIR. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kitosan memiliki warna coklat abu-abu, ukuran partikel serbuk nano, kadar air 5,34 %, kadar abu 1,14 % dan derajat deasetil 25,27 %. Efisiensi penyisihan TSS yang tinggi sebesar 55,19 %, kekeruhan 64,73 % dan COD 55,63 %. Dosis yang optimum sebesar 200 mg/L dengan kecepatan pengadukan cepat 150 rpm. Nano biokoagulan kitosan paling efektif untuk menyisihkan kekeruhan dibandingkan dengan COD dan TSS limbah cair indutri farmasi.

The performance of two-phase anaerobic in a laboratory-scale operating on traditional Chinese pharmaceutical industry wastewater at various hydraulic retention times was investigated. The wastewater with high pollutant concentration in reactor designed based on two-phase anaerobic principles was analyzed with GC-MS. The effect of controlling the pH of the methanogonic phase of traditional Chinese pharmaceutical industry wastewater digestion on the biogas production rate and pollution potential reduction was also investigated. The reactor was designed to act as a liquid-solid separator, in order to maximize the microbial mass in it, and was operated at different hydraulic retention times. It operated as a two-phase reactor when the pH of the wastewater was controlled in the methanogenic phase. The results of experiment indicate that acidifier discomposes compounds composed of big molecule were degraded into small acid molecule which is more subject to biochemical treatment, and after the final treatment of reactor producing methane, species and contents of compound contained in treated wastewater are obviously reduced.
