ABSTRACT

Waste water is any water that has been adversely affected in quality by anthropogenic influence. The waste water generated from these industries possess solids, biodegradable and nonbiodegradable compounds. Various sources of pharmaceutical industries are different sectors of Active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulation department. Pharmaceutical residues and metabolites are usually detected in the environment at trace levels but that low concentration levels can induce toxic effects. Waste water if disposed with insufficient treatment may leads to great damage to the environment and ground resources. Need of waste water treatment is to remove organic and inorganic matter this would otherwise cause pollution, to remove pathogenic disease-causing organism, in order to protect the environment and human health. Waste water treatment process may reduce suspended solids, biodegradable organics, and pathogenic bacteria.  Sand filtration, followed by chemical treatment is a proven procedure to treat the pharmaceutical waste water for disposal as well as reuse. With the help of various parameters pharmaceutical waste water were evaluated, parameters use for the evaluation of pharmaceutical waste water are Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), Chemical oxygen demand (COD), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Total suspended solids (TSS), colour, Turbidity, Microbial analysis.

Keywords: Biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, total dissolved solid, total suspended solid, Waste water.
