TLDR
The results of this study suggest that anaerobic pretreatment prior to advanced oxidation may be a viable means of reducing the ozone and hydrogen peroxide dosages required for biodegradability enhancement.
Abstract
Ozone in combination with hydrogen peroxide has been shown to effectly oxidize 1,4-dioxane in synthetic solutions representing groundwater or industrial wastewater to more readily biodegradable oxidation products that could be treated using conventional biological treatment. Bicarbonate alkalinity and competition by 1,3-dioxolane and 2-methyl-1,4-dioxolane were found to increase the oxidant dosages required for 1,4-dioxane oxidation. The results of this study suggest that anaerobic pretreatment prior to advanced oxidation may be a viable means of reducing the ozone and hydrogen peroxide dosages required for biodegradability enhancement

Combination of Advanced Oxidation Processes and biological treatments for wastewater decontamination—A review

TL;DR: 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.

Degradation of chlorophenols by means of advanced oxidation processes: a general review

TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation of chlorophenols (CPs) by means of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) was evaluated during the period 1995-2002 and different mechanistic degradation pathways were taken into account.

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Wastewater Treatment: Formation of Hydroxyl Radical and Application

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the formation reactions of the hydroxyl radical (·OH) and the mechanisms of pollutants degradation in six types of advanced oxidation processes, including radiation, photolysis and photocatalysis, sonolysis, electrochemical oxidation technologies, Fenton based reactions, and ozone-based processes.

Comparison of different advanced oxidation processes for phenol degradation.

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.
