Remediation of pharmaceuticals from contaminated water by molecularly imprinted polymers: a review

Ehsan Nazarzadeh Zare et al.

Summary: The release of pharmaceuticals into the environment has negative effects on human and ecosystem metabolism, requiring advanced remediation methods. Molecularly imprinted polymers are promising adsorbents for removing pharmaceuticals in water, but their efficiency is limited by template leakage and polymer quality. The adsorption performance of multi-templated molecularly imprinted polymers depends on wastewater treatment plant design and pharmaceutical consumption patterns.
