Advanced Oxidation Processes in Dye-Containing Wastewater: Volume 2 - Volume 2

Textile industry wastewater contains toxic dyes as well as heavy metals and many other persistent organic compounds which are difficult to biodegrade using conventional biological methods.

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are one of the best alternatives for the effective degradation of such compounds.

This Volume 2 starts with homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton processes and reviews the application and variables that affect the process.

It then discusses plasma technology- an emerging method in terms of its chemistry, treatment set-up, limitations, etc.

The positive performance of carbon tetrachloride in process intensification of dye degradation is presented.

The other chapters include topics such as sonoenzymatic treatment processes, electroflocculation versus textile wastewater, combination of photocatalysis and membrane Separation, and enhancement of anaerobic digestion and photodegradation through adsorption.
