Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are widely used for the removal of recalcitrant organic constituents from industrial and municipal wastewater. The aim of this study was to review the use of titanium dioxide/UV light process, hydrogen peroxide/UV light process and Fenton’s reactions in wastewater treatment. The main reactions and the operating parameters (initial concentration of the target compounds, amount of oxidation agents and catalysts, nature of the wastewater etc) affecting these processes are reported, while several recent applications to wastewater treatment are presented. The advantages and drawbacks of these methods are highlighted, while some of the future challenges (decrease of operational cost, adoption of strategies for processes integration) are discussed.

An experiment of advanced oxydation processes (AOPs) was applicated in textile wastewater treatment for color removal. The experiment was conducted in laboratory scale using ozon and hydrogen peroxide as oxidizing agents. The textile wastewater contains any organic and inorganic dyes that could not be effective treated by coagullation and and sedimentation as well as by conventional aerobic treatments. Result of the experiments concluded that the AOPs technologies could be applied effectively for removal of color. Addition of hydrogen peroxide with volume of 0.25 ml for 1 liter of wastewater exhibits the reaction. The reaction of AOPs for color removal was optimum at temperatur of 70oC. As higher as pH, the reaction become faster and the efficiency of color removal become higher.   Key words:  advanced oxidation processes, color removal, hydrogen peroxide, ozon,

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently received attraction for treatment of different wastewaters. AOPs have an ability to oxidize a high quantity of refractory organic matters, traceable organic, or to increase wastewater biodegradability as a pre-treatment prior to an ensuing biological treatment. In this chapter, the fundamental mechanisms of different AOPs such as ozonation, hydrogen peroxide, UV, persulfate, and Fenton oxidation are summarized. The combination of different oxidation processes such as O3/H2O2, O3/UV, O3/Fenton+, O3/persulfate are evaluated. Several persulfate activation techniques are also summarized.

Abstract Various processes that have been suggested for the oxidation of organic compounds in wastewater are summarized. The most widely applicable are based on generation of hydroxyl radicals via the photolysis of hydrogen peroxide, ozone and titanium dioxide. Other methods of generating hydroxyl radicals and other oxidants, as well as other methods of oxidation that have been suggested for organic wastewater treatment are also discussed.

Abstract Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been defined as near-ambient temperature processes that involve the generation of highly reactive radical intermediates, especially the hydroxyl radical. These processes show promise for the destruction of hazardous organic substances in municipal and industrial wastes, in drinking water and in ultrapure water. Three types of AOPs are considered in this paper: catalyzed decomposition of ozone; ozone with hydrogen peroxide (Peroxone); and photolysis of hydrogen peroxide with ultraviolet radiation. Kinetic models for these processes are being developed based on known chemical and photochemical principles. The models take into account measured effects of radical scavengers such as bicarbonate; dose ratios of the oxidants or UV intensity; pH; and the presence of generic radical scavengers. The models are used to discuss two cases: oxidation of parts-per-million levels of nitrobenzene with ozone, Peroxone and peroxide/UV and oxidation of naphthalene and pentachlorophenol with peroxide/UV.
