 INTRODUCTION

 Wastewater is the polluted form of water generated from rainwater runoff and human activities. It is also called
sewage.

 Waste management is the activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its disposal. This
includes the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the
waste management process.

 Wastewater treatment is a process used to remove contaminants from wastewater or sewage and convert it into an
effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. Once returned to the water cycle, the effluent creates an acceptable
impact on the environment or is reused for various purposes.

 The effluents discharged from these industries, organic-synthesis pharmaceutical plants generally produce waste
streams with high COD and salinity, as well as limited biodegradability Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are
widely considered as an efficient option to treat effluents of low biodegradability.
 ULTRASONIC CAVITATION

Ultrasonic technology as an innovative technology may be used for water and wastewater treatment for pollution
removal, This technology acts as an advanced oxidation process. Application of this technology leads to the
decomposition of many complex organic compounds to much simpler compounds during physical and chemical
compounds.
PHARMACEUTICAL PROCESS
WASTEWATE

 Water is a critical raw material in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing operations; consistent and
high-quality water supplies are required for a range of operations including production, material processing,
and cooling.

 the processing, formulation, and manufacture of pharmaceutical products, APIs and intermediates,
compendia articles, and analytical reagents.

 Process water quality management is of great importance in pharmaceuticals manufacturing and is also a
mandatory requirement for the sterilization of containers or medical devices in other healthcare applications
including water for injection.

 No anticipated environmental concerns

 CONCLUSIONS

 The degradation of wastewater from pharmaceutical wastewater was investigated by the cavitation process.
The cavitation process was done by acoustic.

 Therefore, maximum efficiency of COD removal is achieved .75.53% with acoustic cavitation without
any use of chemical Cavitation is eco-friendly way to reduce the pollution load of wastewater.

 These processes different from the other treatments processes because wastewater compounds are
degraded rather than concentrated or transferred into a different phase and secondary waste materials
are not generated. Sludge generation is very less as compare to other.
