Abstract
The rising consumption of pharmaceuticals and the dissemination of active pharmaceutical ingredients in aquatic environments necessitate the development of efficient and sustainable technologies for the removal of emerging contaminants. This study evaluates the feasibility of a biological treatment approach based on the white-rot fungies Trametes sp. immobilized on natural supports for the remediation of pharmaceutical pollutants. The investigation was carried out in two phases. In the first phase, bench-scale (Erlenmeyer) experiments were performed to assess fungal compatibility and to screen potential lignocellulosic supports, including sunflower seed hulls, almond skins, walnut skins, and...
