Abstract
This study examines the application of photochemical and non-photochemical advanced oxidation processes on the treatment of textile, Kraft bleaching, photoprocessing, and pharmaceutical wastewaters. Effects of reaction conditions on the treatment efficiency of industrial wastewater have been investigated. The results were evaluated in terms of biodegradability enhancement. The results indicated depending upon the composition of wastewater and applied pretreatment all applied AOPs had an ability to increase the biodegradability of studied wastewaters.
