Comparison of different removal techniques for selected pharmaceuticals
2015
[EN] Recently, there is an emergence of endocrine-disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products (EDC/PPCPs) as important pollutants to remove from drinking water and reclaimed wastewater. In this work, the efficiency of removing pharmaceuticals (PCs) from model aqueous solutions and raw wastewater with ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), activated carbon adsorption (AC), biological methods (SBR) and oxidation with ClO2 was investigated. Some treatments have also been used as combined processes: UF + NF, UF +AC, SBR + ClO2. Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen, Diclofenac, Sulfamethoxazole, Clonazepam, and Diazepam were selected as model compounds. In order to evaluate their r…
The comparison of seven different methods to quantify the amorphous content of spray dried lactose
2006
The purpose of this work was to verify the usefulness, advantages and disadvantages of seven methods that are widely used to detect, and quantify the amorphous contents in pharmaceutical solids. Here, StepScan DSC, a type of modulated temperature calorimetry method, was applied for the first time to quantify amorphicity. The comparison of the analytical methods was undertaken with real (non-artificial) test samples, i.e. spray-dried lactose samples with various degrees of crystallinity. In these samples, it was essential that the amorphous and the crystalline portions are not present as separate particles, which is the case when physical (artificial) mixtures of totally amorphous and totall…
