Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) integrated with biodegradation have been established as an efficient process for the removal of toxic organic pollutants present in wastewater. Methods can be selected on the basis of some parameters such as characteristics of effluent, strict regulations for the discharge, and process cost. Efficacies of these processes have been discussed on reviewing the experimental work which will assist in deciding the proper integration of AOPs with the biological processes for the effective removal of toxic pollutants. Moreover, the phenomenon of fluidization has been discussed to increase the efficiency of many processes in chemical and biochemical fields. The use of fluidized bed reactor, especially in AOPs and biological treatment, signifies an exclusive opportunity for cost-effective solution. Fixed bed reactors are also widely used for the remediation of toxic water pollutants. They can be employed for the aerobic and anaerobic biological treatment of wastewater. They can also be used for physicochemical treatments such as adsorptive removal of toxic pollutants. This chapter summarizes the discussion on the integration of AOPs with biodegradation and the use of fixed and fluidized bed reactor for the treatment of wastewater containing toxic pollutants.
