Abstract
Various organic pollutants are discharged into the aquatic environment. Most of them are not only toxic but also nonbiodegradable. Hence they cannot be treated by biological wastewater treatment plants or other conventional methods. And consequently a need arises to develop effective methods for the degradation of organic pollutants, either to less harmful compounds or to their complete mineralization. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have attracted increasing attention due to their potential capability in the removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants. This chapter presents the general process principles on Advanced Oxidation Processes namely and discusses catalysis in Advanced Oxidation Processes. The usage and mechanism of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts in Fenton Oxidation, Catalytic Wet Air Oxidation and Ozonation are discussed comprehensively.
