Degradation of organic/inorganic pollutants through photofenton membrane bioreactor (PFMBR) and lumped kinetic modeling in pharmaceutical effluent

•Photofenton integrated membrane bioreactor reduce internal fouling.•Higher rate constant and activation energy obtained through Lumped parameter kinetic modeling.•Thermodynamic parameter exhibits spontaneity and feasibility of the reaction.•PFMBR enhances the inorganic removal and give assurance for scale up studies.
