A REVIEW ON ADVANCED OXIDATION METHOD FOR WASTE WATER TREATMENT

Abstract

Wastewater treatment for domestic and industrial effluent can be carried out by various physical, chemical and biological treatment methods. For removal of various organic and inorganic pollutants various advanced methods are used with good effect. Organic matter present in the wastewater reduces its dissolved oxygen content. This water if disposed to water reservoirs, can be harmful to aquatic life. Reduction of organic matter and other pollutants by using advanced oxidation method can be carried out by using various oxidizing agents including hydrogen peroxide and Fenton’s reagent. Also advanced oxidation can be coupled with other methods for better treatment. The present review summarizes the research and studies carried out for wastewater treatment by using advanced oxidation methods
