Amisulpride removal from water

Amisulpride belongs to the class of second-generation antipsychotic drugs.

Doctors primarily prescribe it for treating psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Additionally, veterinarians have used amisulpride in veterinary medicine to manage behavioural disorders in animals.

When amisulpride enters water bodies through various routes – such as wastewater discharge or improper disposal, it can have detrimental effects on aquatic organisms and the overall ecosystem. Research has indicated both short-term and long-term impacts on fish, amphibians, and other water-based animals.

Short-term exposure to amisulpride can result in altered behaviour, reduced feeding activity, and impaired reproduction in aquatic organisms.

Furthermore, the compound’s persistence in water can lead to bioaccumulation, where it accumulates in the tissues of organisms over time. This can disrupt the balance of aquatic ecosystems and pose risks to the entire food chain, right up to humans.

Studies have shown that amisulpride can remain active in water for extended periods, with half-lives ranging from a few days to several weeks.

Several methods can be employed to remove amisulpride from water, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Here, we provide an overview of commonly used techniques and introduce the innovative Nyex Rosalox™ system, which offers superior, cost-effective performance.

As noted above, ozone treatment has gained popularity as a method for removing amisulpride from water due to its strong oxidizing properties. Ozone effectively breaks down organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals, into less harmful substances. However, it is crucial to consider the pros and cons of using ozone-based systems.

Pros:

• High oxidation potential ensures efficient amisulpride removal.
• Ozone rapidly decomposes into oxygen, leaving no harmful residues.
• Can treat a wide range of water volumes.

Cons:

• Ozone generators require careful maintenance and monitoring.
• Operational costs associated with ozone production, electricity usage and COSSH.
• Potential formation of disinfection byproducts when ozone reacts with other water constituents.
• Risks associated with handling and storing ozone

Arvia’s Nyex Rosalox™ system offers an innovative approach to amisulpride water contamination, combining adsorption and electro-chemistry for enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

A key advantage is the extended lifetime of the Nyex™ adsorbent media. By utilizing electrochemical regeneration, the system allows for continuous operation and significantly extends the lifespan of the adsorbent, resulting in reduced operational costs and enhanced cost-effectiveness.

Moreover, the Nyex Rosalox system is highly versatile and adaptable to various water treatment scenarios. It can be integrated into existing water treatment infrastructure or customized to meet specific requirements, providing flexibility for different manufacturing applications.

Lastly, the Nyex Rosalox system prioritizes environmental sustainability. By avoiding the production of harmful byproducts during the removal process, it minimizes the system’s environmental impact and ensures the protection of water sources and ecosystems.

The presence of amisulpride in water poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Implementing effective removal methods is crucial to safeguard water sources and maintain a sustainable environment.

While various techniques exist, the Nyex Rosalox™ system stands out as an advanced and reliable solution for removing amisulpride from water, offering superior performance, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability.

By prioritizing the efficient removal of amisulpride from water, professionals in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries can contribute to preserving the quality of our water resources and protecting the delicate balance of aquatic ecosystems for future generations.
