Advanced Oxidation Processes for Wastewater and Effluent Treatment - an Insightful and Far-Reaching overview

The vision of water treatment technologies is moving towards a new generation of science and technology. Wastewater and effluent treatment has undergone innovative and drastic changes over the years. Traditional wastewater treatment has yielded to modern and ground -breaking procedures which are more ever reaching and effective. The world of difficulties and hurdles has opened up new avenues to highly feasible effluent treatment procedures. So the vigorous and urgent importance of advanced oxidation procedures. This review will delineate and describe the increasing importance of various advanced oxidation processes including ozonation of textile wastewater. It will open up wide avenues for increasing visionary importance. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP's), which involve and includes the in-situ generation of highly potent chemical oxidants such as the hydroxyl radical, have emerged as an important avenue of technologies to accelerate the non-selective oxidation and thus the destruction of a wide range of non-degradable organic contaminants in wastewater which cannot be eliminated biologically. This review will delineate the difficulties and hurdles of advanced oxidation processes of wastewater particularly textile industry wastewater. Actually, recently, an increasing application of various AOP's for textile wastewater has been observed in contrast to traditional treatment methods. So our urge and conscience to investigate this domain of knowledge. A holistic and summarized view of the advanced oxidation processes is deliberated and delivered with scientific rigour.
