Abstract

Domestic and industrial wastewaters are complex matrices that contain a large variety of pollutants. Consequently, the conventional processes at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) cannot remove these. These pollutants remain in the effluent and are discharged into different environmental compartments worldwide, generating a range of negative impacts on the environment and human health. In this chapter, general features and the application of the most common advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater are described. Also, the feasibility of scaling up advanced oxidation processes for pollutants removal (emerging and conventional) and the advantages and complications of each type of advanced oxidation process when applied to wastewater treatment (domestic and industrial) are shown.
