TL;DR: Of the tested processes, Fenton reagent was found to the fastest one for phenol degradation, and lower costs were obtained with ozonation in the ozone combinations, and UV/H2O2 showed the highest degradation rate.

TL;DR: Different treatments that are being applied to polish this type of effluents include membranes, physical, biological, thermal or chemical treatments, where special emphasis has been made on advanced oxidation processes due to the advantages offered by these processes.

TL;DR: Results showed that ozonation was proved to be an efficient method to degrade sulfamethoxazole and had an important role in the TOC and COD removal, promoting their growth with the increment of alkalinity.

TL;DR: The study showed that the TOC content of the pre-treated solution could be removed up to 68% by an aerobic biological treatment as well as co-digested with municipal wastewater (TOC removal up to 82%), with similar operating retention times to a municipal wastewater plant (12-24 h).

TL;DR: Different Advanced Oxidation Processes such as photocatalysis, Fenton-based processes and ozonation were studied to include one of these technologies within an integrated solution for produced water (PW) polishing to account for the lowest electric energy consumption per order of target compound destruction regarding total organic carbon (TOC).
