Combination of Advanced Oxidation Processes and biological treatments for wastewater decontamination—A review
TLDR
The main conclusions arrived at from the overall assessment of the literature are that more work needs to be done on degradation kinetics and reactor modeling of the combined process, and also dynamics of the initial attack on primary contaminants and intermediate species generation.About:

Ozonation kinetics of cork-processing water in a bubble column reactor.
TL;DR: The oxidative degradation of organic pollutants present in cork-processing water at natural pH (6.45) was studied in a bubble column ozonation reactor and it was determined that the reaction follows a fast kinetic regime at the beginning of the oxidation process, shifting to the moderate and the slow kinetic regimes at later stages of the oxidisation reaction.
