Abstract
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and Bulk drug industry is generating in large amount of polluted waste water. Untreated waste water with high level of pollutants caused by poor design, poor maintenance and operation of treatment systems creates major water pollution problems when discharged to environment. Considering these implications an attempt has been made in the present work at lab scale.Adjustment of pH, coagulation process, evaporation process (Distillation), biodegradation and activated carbon adsorption was applied,these treatment processes to degrade refractory Organics (initial concentration COD: 170000 to 180 ppm, BOD: 58500 to 68 ppm, TDS: 61800 to 400 ppm.) present in waste water of Antithrombotic therapeutic drug manufacturing process. Results obtained show a maximum degradation of pollutants. The results revealed that pH of waste water, ratio of coagulants, evaporation % age, biodegradation retention time, affects the extent of degradation of compound. Treated water can be use for utility purpose i.e. make up water to cooling towers, road cleaning, floor cleaning, equipment cleaning in industry and also utilize for gardening.
