dc.description.abstract | This review aims to assess different technologies for the on-site treatment of hospital wastewater (HWW) to
remove pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) as sustances of emerging concern at a bench, pilot, and full scales
from 2014 to 2020. Moreover, a rough characterisation of hospital effluents is presented. The main detected PhCs
are antibiotics and psychiatric drugs, with concentrations up to 1.1 mg/L. On the one hand, regarding the
presented technologies, membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are a good alternative for treating HWW with PhCs
removal values higher than 80% in removing analgesics, anti-inflammatories, cardiovascular drugs, and some
antibiotics. Moreover, this system has been scaled up to the pilot plant scale. However, some target compounds
are still present in the treated effluent, such as psychiatric and contrast media drugs and recalcitrant antibiotics
(erythromycin and sulfamethoxazole). On the other hand, ozonation effectively removes antibiotics found in the
HWW (>93%), and some studies are carried out at the pilot plant scale. Even though, some families, such as the
X-ray contrast media, are recalcitrant to ozone. Other advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as Fenton-like
or UV treatments, seem very effective for removing pharmaceuticals, Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria (ARBs) and
Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs). However, they are not implanted at pilot plant or full scale as they usually
consider extra reactants such as ozone, iron, or UV-light, making the scale-up of the processes a challenging task
to treat high-loading wastewater. Thus, several examples of biological wastewater treatment methods combined
with AOPs have been proposed as the better strategy to treat HWW with high removal of PhCs (generally over
98%) and ARGs/ARBs (below the detection limit) and lower spending on reactants. However, it still requires
further development and optimisation of the integrated processes. | es |
