Scholarcy highlights
- Pharmaceuticals and personal care products as emerging environmental contaminants have attracted increasing attention because of their potential adverse effects on humans and wildlife
- Traditional activated sludge treatment process used in sewage treatment plants cannot effectively remove PPCPs from water
- This work will present a review on mechanisms, efficiency, and influence factors of PPCPs removal by ultrafiltration membranes, reverse osmosis membranes, and nanofiltration membranes
- Ultrafiltration membranes can be used to treat wastewater that contains PPCPs if they are combined with other treatment processes
- The removal efficiencies of PPCPs are affected by many factors, including the PPCPs characteristics, water quality conditions, and nanofiltration membrane characteristics
