Abstract

Wastewater contamination with pharmaceutical drugs is of remarkable importance. Among other drugs, antibiotics cause concern due to their hole in bacterial resistance. Effluents from industries, residential districts, hospitals and animal farms are the main sources of contamination by antibiotics. Moreover, conventional wastewater treatments have shown low efficiency in the removal of these xenobiotics, while alternative options for that treatment have few studies and their consequences are not clearly evaluated. Still regarding environmental concerns, the Green Chemistry has been driving modernization of analytical strategies. In the scope of pharmaceutical drugs analysis in complex matrices, invaluable importance is conferred to the development and application of miniaturized sample preparation and chromatographic separation. Currently, several strategies of solid phase or liquid phase microextraction can be developed for wastewater samples, and capillary liquid chromatography with fast and very efficient columns are greatly recommended by the Green Analytical Chemistry. Thus, the aims of this project are the development of modern strategies for the sample preparation of wastewaters containing antibiotics; the separation and detection of these compounds to the trace level using capillary liquid chromatography; and, the application of these methodologies to the evaluation of the degradation of them with fixed-bed biological reactors.
