Abstract

Advanced oxidation processes constitute important, efficient, promising, catalytic, and environmentally friendly materials designed for the remediation of recalcitrant pollutants from industrial effluents. Commonly, the advanced oxidation processes are based on the in situ generation of highly reactive radical species (•OH) generation, which plays a significant role in the catalytic degradation and decontamination of wastewater. In recent decades, major achievements have been made in advanced oxidation process–based techniques, which include ozonation, sonochemical degradation, electrochemical remediation, heterogeneous catalysis, Fenton’s oxidation, and photo-Fenton’s oxidation. In this chapter, the principles, chemical performances, reaction mechanisms, advantages, and applications of advanced oxidation processes in the degradation of some organic compounds are provided.
