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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of imperative technologies for wastewater treatment I: oxidation technologies at ambient conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight five different oxidation processes operating at ambient conditions viz. cavitation, photocatalytic oxidation, Fenton's chemistry, ozonation, and use of hydrogen peroxide.

Superoxide Ion: Generation and Chemical Implications

TL;DR: This review comprises the main characteristics of O2(•-) followed by generation methods, and its potential applications including the destruction of hazardous chemicals, synthesis of organic compounds, and many other applications are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on Fenton and improvements to the Fenton process for wastewater treatment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general review of advanced oxidation processes developed to decolorize and/or degrade organic pollutants and highlight the application of nano-zero valent iron in treating refractory compounds.

Dark and photoassisted Fe3+ -catalyzed degradation of chlorophenoxy herbicides by hydrogen peroxide

TL;DR: In this paper, the herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4D) and 2, 4-5-trichlor-pharmoxyacetics acid(2, 4,5-T) were degraded in acidic aerated solutions of H 2 O 2 and Fe 2+ or Fe 3+.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integration of chemical and biological oxidation processes for water treatment: Review and recommendations

TL;DR: The literature of studies which used a combination of chemical and biological degradation (usually oxidative) of organic contaminants in water is reviewed in this paper, where four wastewater contaminant types are identified which can benefit from combined processes: recalcitrant compounds, biodegradable wastes, inhibitory compounds and intermediate dead-end products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidation of chlorobenzene with fenton's reagent

TL;DR: The degradation of chlorobenzene and its oxidation products by hydroxyl radicals generated with Fenton's reagent was studied in this paper, where the pH dependence and product distributions suggest that complexes of aromatic intermediate compounds with iron and oxygen may play a role in regulating reaction pathways.
Journal Article

Consider Fenton`s chemistry for wastewater treatment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidance on the use of the Fenton Reactor for industrial wastewater treatment by first explaining the mechanisms of Fenton's chemistry and then outlining how to apply it to industrial wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI

How and why combine chemical and biological processes for wastewater treatment

TL;DR: A combination of both kinds of processes would mean a cheaper option for total organics degradation from a toxic wastewater as discussed by the authors, however, total mineralisation through this means is very expensive and there are substances, however, which they are unable to deal with.
