What is Homogeneous Advanced Oxidation Processes for the Removal of Pharmaceutically Active Compounds—Current Status and Research Gaps about?

Concerns regarding the presence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in water bodies have led to numerous studies aiming at developing efficient, economic, and environmentally friendly (waste)water treatment techniques . As previously discussed in the literature, conventionally used biological wastewater treatment techniques, such as activated sludge, are not efficient enough to remove such compounds from water bodies [2]; hence, an increasing concentration of such compounds in the environment can be expected, which may lead to the generation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs) or antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) [3, . Direct toxic effects, such as immobilization, lethality, and reproductive, behavioral, physiological, and biochemical changes in aquatic microorganisms, have also been observed for some types of PhACs, such as atenolol, propranolol, and ketoprofen . Hence, the development of efficient physico-chemical techniques has been considered a solution to address these issues. Adsorption techniques using low-cost carbonaceous (e.g., biochar) [9, 10] and clay-based materials (such as bentonite) , membrane separation techniques , and advanced oxidation processes (A
