Research progress and prospect of anaerobic membrane bioreactor for treatment of antibiotic wastewater
China is a major producer of antibiotics in the world,and the production process of antibiotics is accompanied by a large amount of wastewater containing high concentration of antibiotics.However,it is difficult to simultaneously remove conventional pollutants,antibiotics,and antibiotic resistance genes from antibiotic production wastewater by traditional anaerobic biological treatment technology.Anaerobic membrane bioreactor(AnMBR)combines the advantages of anaerobic treatment and membrane technology,and exhibits potential for treating antibiotics-containing wastewater.Based on the literature review,this paper summarized the current progress of antibiotics wastewater treatment using AnMBR,which showed the advantages on pollutant removal and reduction of antibiotic resistance genes.The impacts of antibiotics on microbial inhibition and enrichment of antibiotic resistance genes were focused.Moreover,this study proposed that technique integration of"enhanced hydrolysis pretreatment to remove antibiotic-AnMBR"was optimal short-flow treatment approach for antibiotic production wastewater.This technique integration could simultaneously improve wastewater treatment efficiency and antibiotic resistance control,which is the reference for green,efficient and safe treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater.
