Description
Rodrigo Gutierrez-Ramirez and co-authors review hybrid systems for removing a common pain drug from wastewater in a 2026 paper. Diclofenac slips through standard sewage treatment and harms water life. Joining several treatment steps in one plant can push removal far higher, but scale up has lagged lab success.
The review weighs mixes of adsorption, membrane filtering, advanced oxidation, and biological steps, which often clear over ninety percent of the drug together. High energy use, running costs, and rule compliance still block wide adoption. Life cycle checks and reuse of spent adsorbents point to cheaper, greener designs. The authors map what industry and regulators need to move the systems to market.
