“…Physical immobilization methods involve retaining microorganisms in solid matrices or supports without chemically modifying their structures [ 102 , 103 ]. These methods rely on the ability to trap and maintain microorganisms in place, allowing them to grow and perform their metabolic functions, including encapsulation in gel, immobilization in porous membranes, fixation on synthetic fibers, and adherence to magnetic particles, in a confined environment [ 104 ].…”

In the quest for advanced and environmentally friendly solutions to address challenges in the field of wastewater treatment, the use of polymers such as sodium alginate (Na-Alg) in combination with immobilized microorganisms (IMs) stands out as a promising strategy. This study assesses the potential of Na-Alg in immobilizing microorganisms for wastewater treatment, emphasizing its effectiveness and relevance in environmental preservation through the use of IMs. Advances in IMs are examined, and the interactions between these microorganisms and Na-Alg as the immobilization support are highlighted. Additionally, models for studying the kinetic degradation of contaminants and the importance of oxygen supply to IMs are detailed. The combination of Na-Alg with IMs shows promise in the context of improving water quality, preserving ecological balance, and addressing climate change, but further research is required to overcome the identified challenges. Additional areas to explore are discussed, which are expected to contribute to the innovation of relevant systems.

“…An analysis of recently published studies ( Table 6 ) [ 81 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 ] suggests that the use of consortia of different microorganisms, including microalgae cells, can allow us to resolve the problems of biodegradation of PCPs at a higher level. In particular, the use of natural or artificial cell consortia makes it possible to expand the spectrum of degradable compounds, to carry out effective degradation of PCPs mixtures, to combine the concentration (accumulation) of PCPs and their degradation and to make this degradation thorough.…”

“…One of the ways to retain high concentrations of cells constituting consortia in the media with PCPs is their immobilization on different carriers [ 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 ]. This makes possible the processing of wastewater in periodic and continuous regimes with the extension of the ranges of applied pH values (from 4 to 9) and temperature (from 20 °C to 45 °C) [ 91 ].…”

The review focuses on the appearance of various pharmaceutical pollutants in various water sources, which dictates the need to use various methods for effective purification and biodegradation of the compounds. The use of various biological catalysts (enzymes and cells) is discussed as one of the progressive approaches to solving problems in this area. Antibiotics, hormones, pharmaceuticals containing halogen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics and antiepileptic drugs are among the substrates for the biocatalysts in water purification processes that can be carried out. The use of enzymes in soluble and immobilized forms as effective biocatalysts for the biodegradation of various pharmaceutical compounds (PCPs) has been analyzed. Various living cells (bacteria, fungi, microalgae) taken as separate cultures or components of natural or artificial consortia can be involved in biocatalytic processes under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Cells as biocatalysts introduced into water treatment systems in suspended or immobilized form are used for deep biodegradation of PCPs. The potential of combinations of biocatalysts with physical–chemical methods of wastewater treatment is evaluated in relation to the effective removing of PCPs. The review analyzes recent results and the main current trends in the development of biocatalytic approaches to biodegradation of PCPs, the pros and cons of the processes and the biocatalysts used.

“…Furthermore, enquiry has been done around the globe for the deprivation of pharmaceutical wastewater by the assistance of fungi, for instance, Trametes sp. and Phanerochaete chrysosporium [51]. Moreover, the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) with abundant profitable advantage and decent management result is an auspicious procedure to eliminate N 2 from antibiotic-encompassing wastewater.…”

In recent years, the pharmaceutical field has significantly achieved magnificent progress owing to the necessities of human health and life; however, it also led to drastic environmental issues. The existence of pharmaceuticals in water bodies, which could cause adverse effects on human beings and environment, rose up distress worldwide. The pharmaceutical components found in water bodies have mainly two origins: manufacturing procedures in pharmaceutical industry and common usage of pharmaceutics. The essence of pharmaceutical wastewater (PWW) is intricate, including large amount of organic matter, high salt, microbial toxicity, and non-biodegradable. In sight of water scarcity means, it is essential to figure out and expand techniques for pharmaceutics derived wastewater in water management. Nevertheless, numerous treatment methods have been established to serve pharmaceutical wastewater including biological treatments, membrane technologies, hybrid technologies, advanced oxidation processes, absorption methods, etc. Recently, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), metallic ions clusters linked with organic bridging linkers, have been utilized in number of uses such as storage, separation, sensing, catalysis, adsorption, and many others. The viability of MOFs toward wastewater treatment (WWT) for various pollutants is fundamentally because of the extreme porosity, discrete pore structure, and superficial modification. This chapter highlights the origin and treatment of pharmaceutical wastewaters via the utilization of MOFs and their hybrid systems. A brief perception of the future work in the field has also been discussed.
