| Abstract |
Treatment of emerging pollutants is one of the global necessities in the water sector aimed at water and wastewater treatment sustainability. This is a key action from the point of view of the safety of the environmental water bodies and the reuse of wastewater for economic purposes. Water bodies are systematically polluted by municipal, industrial and agricultural effluents which contain numerous hazardous pollutants, including organic micropollutants (OMPs). This is because most of the existing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are not adapted to be able to remove of OMPs from wastewater. In a typical WWTP, some of the micropollutants are biodegradable, much of them are adsorbed in the sewage sludge but, unfortunately, some of them flow with the effluent into natural receiving bodies and cause serious environmental problems. Recently, there has been growing interest in using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to remove emerging micropollutants from wastewater. Numerous literature reports and the results of full-scale application demonstrate the suitability of AOP methods for the removal of OMPs. This paper reviews a wide range of AOPs methods used for the degradation of selected OMPs, such as pharmaceuticals, organic dyes, pesticides, and microplastic in wastewater. The role of treatment process parameters, including input power, reaction time, chemicals addition, and the concentration of micropollutants on degradation efficiency was discussed. In addition, the degradation kinetics and the possibilities of creating intermediate products by AOP were reported. |
