Innovative Wastewater Purification Cover for Environmental Science: Advances
This illustration was published on the cover of "Environmental Science: Advances", a reputable, gold open access journal published by the Royal Society of Chemistry in London, UK.
It represents the research paper "From batch system toward continuous UV/PS based AOP reactor: the case of tramadol effluent degradation", featured in September 2023 issue of the journal.
The visuals above depict the idea of the dumped water to an open medication bottle, and the different ingredients in the process of purification.
The illustration depicts a groundbreaking method for purifying a specific type of pharmaceutical wastewater according to the research paper's investigation.
The process begins with the wastewater being mixed with a specialized chemical. This mixture then passes through a UV-light system, where harmful contaminants are effectively neutralized. The treated water is subsequently analyzed to ensure complete purification before being safely released into the sea. This innovative approach stands in stark contrast to the traditional practice of dumping untreated pharmaceutical effluent directly into the ocean, offering a more sustainable and environmentally responsible solution.
