Abstract
In recent decades, the use of pharmaceutical products has been increased tremendously with over thirty million tons of pharmaceuticals are consumed worldwide. Pharmacological drugs have a crucial role in preserving the health and welfare of both humans and animals. Many used pharmaceutical products are not completely metabolized in human and animal body leading to gets accumulated in rivers, lakes, and drinking water worldwide as persistent organic chemicals causing severe damage to aquatic ecosystems. This chapter analyses several biotechnology methods employed to remove APIs from pharmaceutical wastewater, specifically emphasizing biological treatments that harness the capabilities of microorganisms and enzymes. The present paper provides a thorough analysis of microbial degradation, bioaugmentation, and the application of bioreactors. Furthermore, it highlights the efficacy, challenges, and potential for integration into existing treatment systems (Figure 1).
