Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are emerging and promising technology both as an alternative treatment to conventional wastewater treatment methods and enhancement of current biological treatment methods especially dealing with highly toxic and low biodegradable wastes. In this paper, the results of domestic wastewater treatment using H2O2/UV process in both batch and continuous mode are presented. Over 95% reduction in COD was achieved in less than 60min of reaction time. Optimum conditions for pH and H2O2 dosage for this process was found to be 3 and 50mgL−1, respectively. A pretreatment in the form of removal of turbidity is recommended for the success of the process in the long run. Electric energy required is estimated to be 10kWhkg−1 COD on the average.
