Abstract

Abstract This study investigated the use of nature‐based solutions for treating real pharmaceutical industry wastewater in Jordan. A pilot‐scale hybrid treatment wetland (TW) equipped with local zeolite was employed, comprising a tidal flow TW and a horizontal subsurface flow TW. This system was efficient in treating pharmaceutical wastewater with removal efficiencies of 61.4%, 52.6%, 60.1%, and 61.9% for chemical oxygen demand, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and NH 4 + ‐N, respectively. The final effluent met Jordanian standards for the reuse of treated wastewater in irrigation (Class B). Five pharmaceuticals, namely, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, lincomycin, and trimethoprim, demonstrated nearly completed removal (93.6–99.9%). Moderated removal performances (59.2–68.2%) were observed for two compounds, flumequine and sulfaquinoxaline. However, three pharmaceuticals, namely, carbamazepine, diclofenac, and sulfadimidine, showed limited removal performances (1.1–20.5%). This study supported the feasibility of using nature‐based solutions for treating pharmaceutical wastewater and highlighted that future studies are required to optimize this strategy for removing a broader range of pharmaceuticals.

新型混合处理湿地在制药工业废水处理中的应用评价

摘要:本研究调查了在约旦使用基于自然的解决方案来处理真正的制药工业废水。采用了一个中试规模的混合处理湿地(TW)，配备了当地的沸石，包括潮汐流TW和水平地下流TW。该系统对制药废水的化学需氧量、总磷、总氮和nh4 +‐N的去除率分别为61.4%、52.6%、60.1%和61.9%。最终出水达到约旦灌溉废水回用标准(B类)。5种药物，即恩诺沙星、环丙沙星、氧氟沙星、林可霉素和甲氧苄啶，几乎完全去除(93.6-99.9%)。氟喹和磺胺喹啉的去除率为59.2 ~ 68.2%。然而，卡马西平、双氯芬酸和磺胺嘧啶三种药物的去除率有限(1.1-20.5%)。这项研究支持了使用基于自然的解决方案来处理制药废水的可行性，并强调了未来的研究需要优化这一策略，以去除更广泛的药物。

期刊介绍： Water and Environment Journal is an internationally recognised peer reviewed Journal for the dissemination of innovations and solutions focussed on enhancing water management best practice. Water and Environment Journal is available to over 12,000 institutions with a further 7,000 copies physically distributed to the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) membership, comprised of environment sector professionals based across the value chain (utilities, consultancy, technology suppliers, regulators, government and NGOs). As such, the journal provides a conduit between academics and practitioners. We therefore particularly encourage contributions focussed at the interface between academia and industry, which deliver industrially impactful applied research underpinned by scientific evidence. We are keen to attract papers on a broad range of subjects including: -Water and wastewater treatment for agricultural, municipal and industrial applications -Sludge treatment including processing, storage and management -Water recycling -Urban and stormwater management -Integrated water management strategies -Water infrastructure and distribution -Climate change mitigation including management of impacts on agriculture, urban areas and infrastructure
