Description The treatment of a complex pharmaceutical effluent
using a combination of ozonation and biological treatment
is reported with the use of ozonation as a preand
posttreatment. Pretreatment facilitated biodegradability
index (BI = BOD/COD) enhancement of up to 0.44 along
with COD and color reduction of up to 42% and 33%,
respectively. Subsequent anaerobic biodegradation of effluent
indicated negligible biogas generation; however, aerobic
biodegradation of pretreated effluent resulted in COD reduction
(73%) and color reduction (62%), which was also indicated
by the biokinetic parameters. Further, ozonation as a
posttreatment led to higher overall COD (87%) and color
(93%) removal.
